When configuring a Database Extension NetBackup requires that a Backup 
Policy be created for the Class. The Backup Policy requires a Retionsion 
Policy to be set but no Frequency.

Each of the Automatic backups configured within the class not only have a 
Retention Policy but also require a Frequency value.

The System Administrator Guide on Database extentions is not particularly 
clear on what values need to be set and I am unclear what values NetBackup 
uses for it's frequency/retention policies. Can I have some answers please:-

  o What Retention policy gets assigned to a Class backup
    - the value set under Backup-Policy?
    - the value set under the Automatic-Policy?
  o Is it possible to create a single class which has multiple
    Retention policies determined by which schedule is run?
  o Can anyone provide an overview of how the Backup Policy Retention     
Value is used by NetBackup?


Thanks,

George
