    @Nicolai:

    You can't - Netbackup has no options to create dependencies : i am not fully agree to the statement, as we have other backup servers, where one policy trigger another policy.

     

    Nicolai is correct, there is no built in method in NBU to run a scedule based on the outcome of another schedule.

    It 'might' be possible using the *end scripts, but this is a 'custom' method (eg. you have to manually write the script) as opposed to a built in function or feature.

You may be able to use "backup_exit_notify" on the master to detect successful completion of specifically client1 in policyA, and because it is on the master it would have the necessary environment and privileges to submit another backup of client1 via policyB.
