Error: No schedules of the correct type exist in this policy

Answer

Users or administrators may want to manually execute a backup that is typically automatically scheduled. When users manually execute the backup, the logs show that 'no schedules of the correct type exist in this policy'.

If after reviewing your 'Problems' log, you find that a scheduled backup failed to run because 'no schedules of the correct type exist in the policy', you should review your calendar settings. This can be done by running the NetBackup command bpclsched. This command may be installed on the client in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd but will surely exist on the Master or Media server. It can be run as shown below:

./bpclsched MyPolicay-M myMasterServer -L
