Directives for specific policy types

Some directives apply only to specific policy types and can appear only in backup selections lists for those policies. NetBackup passes policy-specific directives to the clients along with the backup selections list. The clients then perform the appropriate action according to the directive.

Note:

Include policy-specific directives only in backup selections lists for the policies that support the directives or errors can occur.

The following policy types have their own backup selections list directives:

AFS
FlashBackup
NDMP
Lotus-Notes
MS-Exchange-Server

For example, the following directives can appear only in the backup selections list of an AFS policy:

CREATE_BACKUP_VOLUMES
SKIP_SMALL_VOLUMES

Except for AFS, these policy types can be used when their associated separately-priced option is installed.

For information about AFS directives, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.

For information on other policy types and associated backup selections list directives, see the NetBackup guide for the option.
