Adding conditions
NetBackup gives you the convenience of selectively backing up the backup objects/containers inside the buckets/containers using intelligent queries. You can add conditions or tag conditions to select the objects/blobs inside a bucket/container that you want to back up.
If you enable dynamic multi-streaming, all selected buckets and containers are completely backed up. You cannot define any queries for the buckets or containers that you have selected.
To add a condition:
- While creating a policy, in the Cloud objects tab, click Add query, under Queries.
- In the Add a query dialog, enter a name for the query, and select the bucket(s) to which you want to apply the query. In the list of buckets, you can see only those buckets that are not selected to include all objects.
Note:
While editing a query, you can see the buckets that are selected to include all objects, but the edit option is disabled.
The Queries table shows the queries that you have added. You can search through the queries using values in the Query name and Queries columns. The values of the Queries column do not include the queries with Include all objects/blobs in the selected buckets/containers option selected.
- Select Include all objects in the selected buckets option to back up all the objects in the selected bucket(s).
- To add a condition, click Add condition.
You can make conditions by using either prefix or object. You cannot use both prefix and object in the same query. Do not leave any empty fields in a condition.
- Select prefix or object from the drop-down, and enter a value in the text field. Click Condition to add another condition. You can join the conditions by the boolean operator OR.
- Click Add to save the condition.
