Backup policies define the rules that NetBackup follows when backing up clients. A backup policy can
apply to one or more clients. Every client must be covered by at least one backup policy. The best
approach to configuring backup policies is to divide clients into groups according to any backup and
archiving requirements, then create a policy for each group.
