Adding or changing schedules in a policy

Change policies only when no backup activity is expected for the affected policies and clients. Make adjustments before backups begin to ensure an orderly transition from one configuration to another.

Changing a policy causes NetBackup to recalculate when the policy is due.

Use the following procedure to add or change schedules in a NetBackup policy.

To add or change schedules in a policy

In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Policies.
Select the policy name in the left pane.
Perform one of the following actions:
- To add a schedule, select Actions > New > New Schedule.
- To change an existing schedule, double-click the schedule name in the Details pane.
Complete the entries in the Attributes tab, Start Window tab, Exclude Dates tab, and Calendar Schedule tab (if it appears).
Click OK.
If this schedule is the last schedule, click OK. To add more schedules, click Add and repeat the previous step.

See Events that cause the schedules to be recalculated.
