Netbackup 7.0.1 - How to assign priority to individual clients

Hi ,

I would like to know an option for assigning priority to individual critical clients to avoid 196 ('client backup was not attempted as backup window was closed' )message. I t is not possible for me to  increase the backup session window as it is already extended to the maximum possible.

Please suggest.

Workaround could be to have a separate policy for each critical client & up the priority at the policy level.

Client names in the same policy are submitted top to bottom.

Change the order in the Clients tab or create a separate policy for these critical clients and increase the policy priority.

Please only create a new policy when Full backups are due to avoid Incremental backups running as Full.

Haven't re-visited this since my comments in the idea quoted above.
