Once assets have been added to a protection policy, you can perform manual backups by using the
Protect Now functionality in the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI.
About this task
You can use a single manual backup from the
Protection > Protection Policies window to back up multiple assets that are protected in the designated protection policy. The protection policy can be enabled or disabled, but its purpose must not be Exclusion or Self-Service Protection.
When a virtual machine is part of an application-aware protection policy, the manual backup is a full application-aware backup.
The manual backup is managed by other configured
objectives (replication,
Cloud Tier, Cloud DR) of the parent protection policy. Other properties, such as retention lock, storage target, quotas, and network interfaces, are inherited from the parent protection policy. Jobs managed by this protection policy, such as replication, cloud tiering, and Cloud DR, continue to run after the manual backup job completes.
Steps
From the left navigation pane, select
Protection > Protection Policies.
The
Protection Policies window appears.
Select the protection policy that contains the assets that you want to back up, and click
Protect Now.
The
Protect Now wizard appears.
On the
Assets Selection page, select whether you want to back up all assets or choose individual assets that are defined in the protection policy, and then click
Next.
If you selected the option to choose individual assets for manual backup instead of all assets, the
Assets page appears with the individual assets available for selection.
Select the assets that you want to include in the manual backup, and then click
Next to display the
Configuration page.
If you selected to back up all assets, the
Configuration page appears.
On the
Configuration page, select
Back up now, and then select from the available backup types.
Edit the retention period if you want to change the default settings, and then click
Next.
The default settings are inherited from the primary backup
objective of the parent protection policy.
You can select
Troubleshooting mode to enable debug logging, and then select the level of logging to use:
Info—Includes information such as status changes. This is the default log level for scheduled backups and restores.
Debug—Additional information that helps with problem diagnosis.
Trace—The most detailed amount of information for complex problem diagnosis.
On the
Summary page, review the settings and then click
Protect Now.
A notification appears indicating whether the request was processed successfully.
