Modifying a backup policy

You can modify the job definitions, client or client groups selections, or event settings for an existing backup policy.

You can modify a backup policy only if it is in a “dormant” (or “quiesced”) state. A backup policy is said to be in a dormant (or inactive) state if no policy jobs are currently running. If one or more jobs are running for a policy, the policy is said to be in an active state. Before modifying an active backup policy, you must place the policy in a quiesced state. For more information about this procedure, see Quiescing a backup policy.
