Veritas NetBackup™ for Enterprise Vault™ Agent Administrator's Guide

To add a new policy

1. Log on to the master server as administrator (Windows) and start the NetBackup Administration Console.
2. If your site has more than one master server, select the one where you want to add the policy.

3. Add a new policy by making the appropriate selection:

   • In the left pane, right-click Policies. Select New Policy (Windows interface).

   • In the left pane, click Policies. In the All Policies pane, right-click the master server and click New Policy (Java interface).

4. In the Add a New Policy dialog box, in the Policy name field, type a unique name for the new policy.
5. Uncheck the Use Backup Policy Configuration Wizard check box.

   Note:

   By default, this option is checked. Uncheck this check box if you want to manually create a new policy. If this check box is not unchecked, the Backup Policy Configuration wizard appears and guides you through the backup policy creation process.

6. Click OK.
7. On the Attribute tab of the Add a New Policy dialog box, select the Enterprise-Vault policy type from the Policy type drop-down list.

   The Enterprise Vault database agent policy type does not appear in the drop-down list unless the master server has a license key for this database agent.

8. Complete the entries on the Attributes tab.

9. Continue by adding additional policy information as follows:

   • Add schedules

     See Adding schedules to an Enterprise Vault policy.

   • Add clients

     See Adding a client to a policy.

   • Add Enterprise Vault directives to the backup selections list

     See Creating a backup selections list.

10. When you finish configuring the schedule, client, and backup selections, click OK.

    The policy is validated and created if it found to be valid. If the policy is not valid the policy validation fails with a status 69 or 1800 error.

    For more information about how to correct your policy or for more information about the status errors, refer to the following sections.
