     The parameter values are case-sensitive.

   • Backup_Host=IP_address or hostname

     The backup host must be a Linux computer. The backup host can be a NetBackup client or a media server.

     You can specify multiple backup hosts.

   • Tables to back up

     You can specify multiple tables.

     Note:

     When you define a BigData policy with Application_Type=hbase, the table names cannot contain space or comma in their names.
