Managing Backup Policies (Classes)
55
3
Starting with an existing class is convenient if it has many of the
properties you need. When you copy a class, NetBackup duplicates the
following:
• Class attributes
• File list
• Client list
• All schedules
You can then change the class as required (see “Changing Classes” on
page 124).
5. In the New Class Name box, type a unique name for the new class.
Use numeric, alphabetic, plus, minus, underscore, and period characters.
Do not use a minus as the first character or leave any spaces between
characters.
6. Click
OK.
• If the Edit the Class Before Creating a New One option is set on the
Preferences tab of the Customize dialog box, NetBackup displays the
dialog box on Figure 4. Complete the dialog box as explained in Step 7.
• If the above Preferences option is not set, NetBackup creates the new
class with default general attributes (but no schedules, clients, or files).
To complete the class configuration, use the procedures listed below (or
go to “Changing Classes” on page 124).
• “Setting the General Class Attributes” on page 57
• “Adding Clients to a Class” on page 73 starting with Step 3
• “Specifying the List of Files to Back Up” on page 75 starting with
Step 3
