Changing a device's Server Backup policy

To change settings for a device where a Server Backup agent is installed, you can change the policy for the device. This is useful, for example, if you want the agent to back up data at a different time than specified by the default policy for agents in its site.

When the agent next contacts the Management Console, it obtains the new policy's settings. Agents usually contact the Management Console once every hour and before each backup.

You can also edit settings in a Global or Site policy that is assigned to the device. See Viewing and editing Server Backup policies.

To change a device's Server Backup policy:

1. In the navigation pane, go to Server Backup > Devices.

2. Do one of the following:

   • To change the policy for one device, click the name of the device.

   • To change the policy for one or more devices in a site, click the site name in the Sites list, and then select the check box for each device. If you are using Business view in the Management Console, you do not have to click a site name.

   Note: You cannot change the Server Backup policy for a device that is scheduled for deletion.

3. Click Change Policy.

4. In the Server Backup policy list, do one of the following:

   • To specify a policy for the device or devices, select the policy name.

   • To have the device or devices inherit the site's Server Backup policy, select Inherit Policy from site (policyName).

5. Click Change Policy.

   A Success notification appears.
