Include 2 backup client in 1 policy

[wenyee99]

Dear all,

can we include 2 different backup client in 1 policy, for example: server1 (backup database1), server2 (backup database2).
Thanks for your information

yes, you can place multiple clients in a policy

Just because the VERITAS documentation states something as certain, that does not make it a fact and that is truth.

Would you be trying to backup two different databases?

Usually you put more than one client in a policy if your going to be backing up the same filesystem's or selecting All_Local_Drives

dear vela and stumpr
i m intend to backup 2 clients in one policy, but both backing up difference path of data: for example, server1 - data1, data2. server2 -db1, db2.
if i include server1 & server2 in same policy, and backup selection - data1, data2, db1,db2. how the policy know which selection is belong to which client?
thanks

It wouldn't know that because by placing both clients in the same policy with the same filelist, you are telling it to backup the same data for both client's. You might see a "71 none of the files in the filelist exist"- error

Why not create another policy and have two policies?
