About policies for Cloud object store assets

Backup policies provide the instructions that NetBackup follows to back up object(s). You can create a single policy to protect multiple buckets or containers in a Cloud object store account. You can select the objects that you want to protect using a policy. The objects are automatically discovered in the NetBackup environment and backed up. You need different policies to apply different backup logic to the objects in a Cloud object store account. Every Cloud object store account must be in at least one policy so that it can be backed up.

You can configure the following using a policy:

  • Storage unit and media to use

  • Backup schedules: Full, Differential incremental, and Cumulative incremental

  • Backup selections: Whole bucket or container, or group of objects matching the criteria specified in the query.

    You can add the whole buckets or containers to a policy, or use queries to intelligently select the required objects inside the buckets to backup.
