Deploying a backup policy
You can deploy backup policies to the resource targets that have Veritas System Recovery installed.
When you deploy backups to resource targets, all of the computers within a given target have the same backup schedule.
Note: Make sure that any backups you deploy do not overlap in time; otherwise an error occurs. Also, suppose you have two backup policies. Each policy has the recovery point set options pointing to the same drives. When the policy is assigned to the client computer, the policies fail with no generated errors.
To deploy a backup policy
-
On the Veritas System Recovery 21 Management Solution Manage Tasks tab, in the Backup Policies ** list in the left pane, clickBackup Policies**.
-
In the middle panel, click a backup policy name.
-
On the table's toolbar, click Edit.
-
In the displayed panel near the upper-right corner, click On from the list to enable the software delivery policy.
