Policy creation wizard

This chapter explains how to create a new policy in EMS SQL Backup.

There is a special wizard that guides you through the policy creation process. You can launch this wizard in one of the following ways:

At the Policies tab:

Use the Create New Policy or Create Policy from Template popup menu item.

At the Servers tab:

Right-click database/server/server group and use the Maintenance Policies | Create new policy or Create from templates item.

If you call the wizard from the Policies page you will be asked to pick a server, group or solution which policy will be created for. You can create a policy for all servers within Group or Solution.

Note: Creating a Policy for a database means creating policy for the server on which database is stored. This database will be marked by default in steps that require database selection.

Note: When you create a policy from a template it will be applied to all databases of the server irrespective of the database selected.

Proceed to the starting step of Policy wizard.
