Adding clients to a policy
The client list contains a list of the clients on which your scripts are run during an automatic backup or the clients that can send backup requests to the application schedule. A NetBackup client must be in at least one policy but can be in more than one.
For a NetBackup for Sybase policy, clients you want to add must have the following items installed or available:
Sybase
NetBackup client or server
The backup or restore Sybase scripts
To add clients to a NetBackup for Sybase policy
- Open the policy you want to edit or create a new policy.
To access the Policy dialog box, double-click the policy name in the Policies list in the NetBackup Administration Console.
- Click the Clients tab.

- Type the name of the client and select the hardware and operating system of the client.
If Sybase is installed in a cluster, specify the virtual name of the Sybase server as the client name.
