Modifying clients in a backup policy

To modify the clients in a policy:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Policies.
2
In the Available Policies table, select the policy that you want to modify, and click Edit Clients.
To change the client or client groups for the policy, see Client and client group selection for backup policy. To save the policy definition without modifying the events and jobs, click Save Policy, else click Edit Events or Manage Jobs.
3
To change the user-defined events for the policy failures or policy warnings, see User-defined events for backup policy.
4
Click Save Policy to save the policy definition.

Modifying events in a backup policy

To modify the events in a policy:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Policies.
2
In the Available Policies table, select the policy that you want to modify, and click Edit Events.
To change the user-defined events for the policy failures or policy warnings, see User-defined events for backup policy.
3
To save the policy definition without modifying the client (s) and jobs, click Save Policy, else click Edit Clients or Manage Jobs.
4
Click Save Policy to save the policy definition.

Quiescing a backup policy

An active backup policy is temporarily disabled when it is placed in a quiesced state.

To quiesce an active backup policy:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Policies.
2
In the Available Policies table, select the policy, and click Quiesce.
In the policy table, the policy state is set to “Quiescing.”
3
During this state, NetVault Backup completes the following tasks:
•
Deletes all scheduled instances for the policy jobs.
•
Completes the jobs that are in progress.
•
Complete phase 2 (for example, a Secondary Copy job) for the active jobs.
4
After these operations are completed, the policy state is set to “Quiesced.”
In this state, you can change the policy definition.
5
A “Quiesced” policy remains in that state until you open and save the policy again. When you save the policy, all the policy jobs are scheduled again.

Deleting a backup policy

If a backup policy is no longer required, you can delete it from the database.

To delete a backup policy:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Policies.
2
In the Available Policies table, select the policy that you want to delete, and click Remove.
3
In the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
