About the PowerProtect Search Engine

The PowerProtect Search Engine indexes service file, NAS, and file system metadata to enable searches based on configurable parameters.

You can enable the indexing option when creating protection policies so that the assets are indexed while they are backed up.

When a DR backup is run, scheduled, or manually triggered, the cluster backup workflow backs up the cluster index data. A backup task is created, and you can view the individual status of the Search Component backup under Details.

To configure Search Engine, in the Configure Search Engine dialog box, accept or change the expiration period, and then click OK.

NOTE:
  • When the index cluster reaches 70 percent, an alert is generated. When it reaches 90 percent, an alert is generated and indexing is suspended. Specify a global index expiry interval to periodically clean up indexes, which frees up space.
  • To turn off or modify indexing, select Infrastructure > Search Engine, and click Configure Cluster. From the Configure Search Cluster dialog box, change the number of expiration days.
  • Indexes expire according to the global setting or when the associated copies expire, whichever occurs first.
  • To stop indexing assets that have been added to a protected protection policy, disable the indexing option during protection policy configuration.
