Creating a NetBackup policy

About this task

To create a Symantec NetBackup policy, complete the following steps.

Procedure

Start the NetBackup Administration Console.
In the right pane, select Create a Backup Policy. The Backup Policy Configuration Wizard starts.
Click Next in the Welcome dialog.
In the Policy Name and Type dialog, type a policy name, then select DataStore from the policy type list, and then click Next.
In the Client List dialog, complete the following steps.
1. Click Add.
2. Enter the floating IP address or the external DNS name (the value you previously entered for HOSTNAME in the file backupHostname.txt) in the Name field.
3. Click Next.
In the window, click the menu and select the RedHat Linux operating system that is running on your IBM® Netezza® host. Most Netezza systems use Intel, RedHat 2.4, but if you are not sure, run the uname -r command on your Netezza host to display the kernel release number.
Click OK and then click Next in the Client List dialog.
The operating systems in the list are based on the client binaries that are installed on the NetBackup master server. If you do not install the correct client software on the NetBackup server, the list might be empty or might not include the Red Hat Linux client software. For more information about installing the client software, see the Symantec NetBackup Installation Guide.
In the Backup Type dialog, select Automatic Backup to enable it, then click Next.
Restriction: Do not specify values for the full path script. You supply this information in a later step.
In the Rotation dialog, select your time slot rotation for backups and how long to retain the backups, then click Next.
In the Start Window dialog, select the time options for the backup schedule and click Next. A dialog opens and prompts you to save or cancel the backup policy that you created.
Click Finish to save the backup policy.
