Before you configure a protection policy for asset protection, observe the following points and perform the following actions:
Notes
You can only protect an asset with one policy at a time. If the asset type supports protection rules, assets can move between protection policies depending on the protection rule priorities. Protection rules do not automatically move assets that were manually added to a policy to a different policy.
Before scheduling weekly, monthly, or yearly backups, set the
PowerProtect Data Manager time zone to the local time zone. Otherwise, the backup still runs but is triggered based on the
PowerProtect Data Manager time zone.
Time-based file filters require an NTP server to synchronize the time on the
PowerProtect Data Manager and File System assets.
Windows, Linux, and AIX
Ensure that your host is supported. The
E-Lab Navigator provides software compatibility information for
PowerProtect Data Manager.
Changing the retention periods for specific backup types requires
File System agent 19.9 or later.
Upon requesting a backup (file-based or block-based), the status of the protection policy becomes
Queued. This status switches to
Running only after the system begins writing the backup to
protection storage.
Initial configuration
Enable the
File System agent asset source.
Register the application hosts with
PowerProtect Data Manager.
Perform a discovery of the application hosts.
Where applicable, configure any necessary Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The
PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide provides instructions.
(Optional) Configure the file system parallel backup setting.
(Optional) Configure asset multi-streaming for file-based backups.
Objectives
To move a backup or replica to
Cloud Tier, the corresponding
objectives must have a retention time of 14 days or more.
The retention period cannot be less than any associated replication frequency. If you set a shorter retention time this value automatically updates to match the replication frequency.
Storage
Add protection storage.
The
PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide provides more information about working with storage units, such as the relationships between storage units and policies, security considerations, and applicable limitations.
Before you add a replication
objective, add remote
protection storage for the replication target.
Before you add a
Cloud Tierobjective,
PowerProtect Data Manager requires:
Protection storage set up for
Cloud Tier, with the system passphrase set.
The discovery of
protection storage with a configured Cloud unit.
A configured and running data movement schedule on the cloud storage unit.
The
DDOS Administration Guide provides more information.
NOTE:PowerProtect Data Manager does not support the automatic retention lock (ARL) setting on the
DD system. The option to create a storage unit during protection policy configuration does not support compliance mode retention locking, only governance mode. To use compliance mode retention locking, create and configure a storage unit before you configure an associated protection policy. If you activate retention locking and select a storage unit where the retention lock mode is
None, the retention lock defaults to governance mode. The
PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide provides more information.
Networking
If applicable, complete all of the virtual network configuration tasks before you assign any virtual networks to the protection policy. The
PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide provides more information.
