When a protection policy is disabled, only protection jobs related to the primary backup schedules stop running.
The following table provides information about the types of protection jobs that continue to run when a policy is in
Disabled state. The column
System level ovewrite? indicates whether the default behavior for this job can be overwritten by using the API command. Note, however, that when a policy is disabled, the setting for at least one of these jobs must remain disabled.
NOTE If no primary backup copy exists for the disabled policy, other scheduled protection jobs such as replication will display as
Skipped in the
Protection Jobs window of the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI.
