Adding clients to a policy

The client list is the list of hosts on which your batch files are run during an automatic backup. A NetBackup client must be in at least one policy but can be in more than one.

For a NetBackup for SQL Server policy, clients you want to add must have the following items installed or available:

SQL Server
NetBackup client or server
The backup or restore batch files
Note:
Each batch file must be present on each client.

To add clients to a policy

Open the policy you want to edit or create a new policy.
To access the Policy dialog box, double-click the policy name in the Policies list in the NetBackup Administration Console.
Before you can add clients, you must select Clients for use with batch files on the Instances and Databases tab.
Click the Clients tab and click New.
Type the name of the client and select the hardware and operating system of the client.
If SQL Server is installed in a cluster, specify the virtual name of the SQL Server as the client name.
Note:
If you installed NetBackup on more than one node in the SQL Server cluster, you must perform additional configuration.
