That is my current setup. 575 policies
and about 500 clients. Some overlap for DB and OS backups. I have also worked
in an environment were I put 30+ clients in a policy.
I would say that for the initial setup the
one client per policy is a pain. But I find that reporting and management in
general is easier with one client in a policy.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] One Client
Per Policy
NetBackup 6.0 MP5; Windows 2003 Server and clients.
I heard this suggested again in conversation and
wanted to find out if anyone else is creating a separate policy for each
client? I was up to almost 800 clients, slowing getting down to about 600
clients, but will grow again in 2008.
The original setup would take quite a while but I can
see some pros and some cons. Is anyone actually running that way with
hundreds of clients?
Thank you,
