IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail, Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server, Version 7.1

Specifying policy binding statements

Policy binding statements associate Exchange backups to a management policy.

About this task

Specify policy binding statements to use for binding snapshots to a policy. You can specify policy binding statements by using the GUI or by manually adding binding statements to the configuration file. A default policy binds any backups that are not explicitly bound to a named policy. Policy binding is available in environments with or without a Tivoli® Storage Manager server.

For Exchange Database Availability Groups (DAG), all the DAG members that share the DAG node must use the same VSS policy.

A policy statement is defined in the respective configuration file. For example:

	`<server name>`	`<object name>`	`<backup type>`	`<backup dest>`	`<mgmt class>`
`VSSPOLICY`	`*`	`"Accounting"`	`FULL`	`LOCAL`	`MC_1`
`VSSPOLICY`	`SERVER_3`	`"Human Resources"`	`INCR`	`LOCAL`	`MC_6`
