About schedule properties
This topic describes the schedule properties that have a different meaning for database backups than for file system backups. Other schedule properties vary according to your specific backup strategy and system configuration. Additional information about other schedule properties is available. See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
Table: Description of schedule properties
Property | Description |
---|---|
| Specifies the type of backup that this schedule can control. The selection list shows only the backup types that apply to the policy you want to configure. |
Clients for use with scripts: The retention period for an application backup type schedule refers to the length of time that NetBackup keeps backup images for stream-based backups. The retention period for an automatic backup type schedule refers to the length of time that NetBackup keeps backup images for proxy based backups. Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP): The retention period for an automatic backup type schedule refers to the length of time that NetBackup keeps backup images for all backup types (stream-based, proxy, etc.) The Oracle database also has retention settings for backup images in the RMAN catalog. As a general recommendation, the NetBackup retention of a backup image should be longer than the database retention of the same backup image. The type of schedule you select affects the retention period as follows:
