The Policy volume pool attribute specifies the default volume pool where the backups for the policy are stored. A volume pool is a group of media that is grouped together for use by a single application. The volume pool is protected from access by other applications and users.

Select a volume pool name from the list of volume pools. Whenever a new volume is required, it is allocated from the volume pool indicated.

The volume pool that is selected on the Schedule tab overrides the Policy volume pool setting.

See Override policy volume pool schedule attribute.
