Changing the backup policy

You can change the backup policy for a Backup Server. Keep the following points in mind:

• When you attach a backup policy to a Backup Server, this policy will apply to all Volumes attached to that Server.

• You can only attach one backup policy to a Backup Server at a time. If you want to change to a different policy, you must detach the old backup policy and attach the new one.

• In addition to the backup policies you create yourself, we have pre-created default backup policies that are optimized for efficiency, so consider using them.
