Each policy has its own set of schedules. These schedules control initiation of automatic backups and specify when user operations can be initiated.
A Teradata backup requires at least two schedule types: an Application Backup schedule and an Automatic Backup schedule. It is possible to create additional schedules. The following table describes Application Backups and Automatic Backups.
| Backup Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Application Backup | An Application Backup schedule enables user-controlled NetBackup operations performed on the client. At least one Application Backup schedule type must be configured for each NCR-Teradata or Teradata policy. The Default-Application-Backup schedule is automatically configured as an Application Backup schedule. |
| Automatic Backup | An Automatic Backup schedule specifies the dates and times when NetBackup will automatically start backups by running the scripts in the order that they appear in the file list. If there is more than one client in the NCR-Teradata or Teradata policy, the scripts are run on each client. |
See Configuring an Application Backup Schedule and Configuring an Automatic Backup Schedule for procedures to add and configure the required schedule types.
