Hello Jago
Thanks for your reply...
hmhmmmm
You are saying that the "Def-policy" is like the "User Backup" in
the standard class?
-----------------------------------------------------------
I am reading the SAG for Oracle Agent...
(I printed the March 2000, 100-001474) Version
On page 54..
"All Oracle database operations are performed through NetBackup
for Oracle on Unix using a BACKUP POLICY schedule. This includes those
backups started automatically."
Also..on page 56
Retention:
The retention period for an Auto Full Backup... controls how long
Netbackup keeps records of when a schedule backups have occurred. Note
that this is different than with a Backup Policy schedule.
thx
Mike
