Protection jobs running for a disabled policy

When a protection policy is disabled, only protection jobs related to the primary backup objectives 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 Appliance UI.
