Editing a Backup Policy

This section describes how to edit a backup policy.

Changing the backup period does not actually change the time of the day when the backup is scheduled to run. For example, you set to run a backup job every seven days. Three days later, you modified the policy to run a backup job every five days. Then the associated server will be backed up two days after your modification.

To actually change when the backup is scheduled to run, dissociate the original policy and associate the server with a new backup policy.

Prerequisites

You have created at least one backup policy.
