Note:
Veritas recommends that users do not modify or delete automanaged policies.

If the user deletes the policy, they must make sure that the asset is added to another protection plan that meets the service level objective.

bppldelete MWF_PM -M Saturn
- policyname
Specifies the policy to remove from the NetBackup database.

The string must not exceed 512 characters. It cannot begin with a dash character (-) nor contain a single quotation mark (').
