NetBackup policy
Deployment options: Netezza Performance Server for Cloud Pak for Data System
A NetBackup policy contains the configuration settings for a Netezza database backup. It defines the rules that NetBackup uses when it backs up clients. You use the NetBackup Administration Console to configure a NetBackup policy.
For a Netezza Performance Server database backup, the NetBackup policy is a “DataStore” policy. The
following table describes the relevant policy settings.
| Category | Setting | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Attributes | Policy Type | DataStore |
| Attributes | Storage Unit | Previously configured NetBackup Storage Unit, suitable for the Netezza Performance Server database backup destination. |
| Attributes | Keyword Phrase | Optional user-supplied keyword phrase. Can be used to help distinguish between backups in the Client Backups Report in NetBackup. You might use the database name. |
| Schedule | Type of Backup | Automatic for NetBackup-scheduled backups Application for user-initiated backups |
| Schedule | * | A policy must include at least one schedule with which you can set the valid time windows for Netezza Performance Server backups and the calendar or frequency specifications for automatic NetBackup-initiated backups. Because you can restore at any time, there is no need for a schedule. |
