Introduction to NetBackup Classes
Parts of a Class Definition
There are four parts to a class definition:
• General Attributes
• Client List
• File List
• Schedules
General Attributes
The general attributes determine the basic characteristics of all the backups
that NetBackup performs for the class. For example:
• Whether the class is active
• Class type (type of clients it can include)
• Priority that NetBackup gives to jobs in this class relative to other classes
• Storage unit and volume pool for backups of clients in this class. A storage
unit or volume pool on the schedule, overrides the general attribute setting.
A complete list of general attributes is provided later in this chapter.
