How to associate a policy to a setup job?
Updated: 11 Jan 2011 | 6 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I'm following up on this thread. I've created the policy and rule but, how do I link it to the back up job? The policy does not allow selections to be made so there must be a way to link the two. Any help is much appreciated.

You create a selection list. Right click policy choose to create a new job using policy and associate it with selection list created before. A policy with 2 templates when merged with one selection list will create 2 jobs.

Correct. If you're replacing
Correct. If you're replacing a backup job with a policy, Backup Exec will run both the original job and the policy job unless you delete the original job. You could just put it on hold until you're happy that the policy job is working correctly.
