Creating BigData policy using the NetBackup Administration Console

If you prefer using the NetBackup Administration Console for creating BigData policy, you can use either of the following methods:

  • Creating a BigData policy using the Policy Configuration Wizard

  • Creating a BigData policy using the NetBackup Policies utility

The easiest method to set up a BigData policy is to use the Policy Configuration Wizard. This wizard guides you through the setup process by automatically choosing the best values for most configurations. Not all policy configuration options are presented through the wizard. For example, calendar-based scheduling and the Data Classification setting. After the policy is created, modify the policy in the Policies utility to configure the options that are not part of the wizard.
