start backup with bp command

hi, can we specify a policy name and schedule name, when we start a backup by bp menu ?? Master server : OS/Release = Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 Netbackup version on the master is : 7.6....

    In order to star user initiated backups each policy need to have a lest one schedule with type "user backup".

    From the client you then run:

    bpbackup -p {name of policy} -s {name of user backup schedule} /data/to/backup

    from the master server you start a regular backup as if it was the master server using:

    bpbackup -i -p {name of policy} -s {name of schedule} 

    Data to backup is defined by the policy

    Hope it clarify
