Policy, by means of templates, defines when backup jobs are run, where backups are stored and what is the type of backup – incremental, differential or full. Retention period starts form the time of last append to the tape. Then you create Policy. Append period specifies how long data can be added to the same tape and retention period tells for how long data cannot be overwritten. Then you create Media Set, which is a collection of tapes with particular append and retention periods. There you select files and folders from your Windows, Unix or NDMP servers. First of all you need to create Selection List, which describes what you want to backup. Inside user interface you see Jobs, Policies, Selection Lists and Media Sets.
