When you work with catalog policy schedules, consider the following:

• Schedule the catalog backups to occur on a regular basis. Without regular catalog backups, you risk losing regular backups if there is a problem with the disk that contains the catalogs.

• The following backup types are supported:

  • Full

  • Differential incremental

    This incremental schedule depends on a full schedule.

  • Cumulative incremental

• The least frequent schedule runs if many schedules are due at the same time.

• One catalog backup policy can contain multiple incremental schedules that are session-based:

  • If one is cumulative and the others are differential, the cumulative runs when the backup session ends.

  • If all are cumulative or all are differential, the first schedule that is found runs when the backup session ends.

• The queued scheduled catalog backup is skipped if a catalog backup job from the same policy is running.

• Session end means that no jobs are running. (This calculation does not include catalog backup jobs.)

• The Vault catalog backup is run whenever triggered from Vault, regardless of whether a catalog backup job is running from the same policy.
