PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 File System User Guide

PDF

Adding a protection policy for File System protection

Use the PowerProtect Data Manager UI to add a protection policy to protect File System data.

Review the prerequisites in the section File System agent prerequisites.

Before you perform a backup on a weekly or monthly schedule from the protection policy, set the PowerProtect Data Manager time zone to the local time zone. If the PowerProtect Data Manager time zone is not set to the local time zone, the weekly or monthly backup still runs but triggers based on the PowerProtect Data Manager time zone.

The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides more information about working with storage units, such as the relationships between storage units and policies, and applicable limitations.

If applicable, complete all of the virtual network configuration tasks before you assign any virtual networks to the protection policy. The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides more information.

Policy types and purposes

Each File System protection policy has a type that defines the purpose of the policy. When you add a protection policy, select one of the available types:

  • Centralized Protection—Use PowerProtect Data Manager to manage all aspects of protection.
  • Self-Service Protection—Use the File System agent to create local backup protection. PowerProtect Data Manager creates a protection policy and manages extra stages.
  • Exclusion—If there are assets within the protection policy that you plan to exclude from data protection operations.

For clarity, this guide provides separate instructions to add a protection policy of each type, even though some of the steps overlap. The terminology for each task differs slightly where the available stages differ between policy types. Complete only the task that applies to your goal.
