Roadmap for planning a protection policy

Before you create a protection policy, assemble the following information:

  1. Identify a supported purpose for this protection policy that corresponds to your goal.

    For example, performing centralized protection backups.

  2. Identify what supported objectives this protection policy should accomplish. Supported protection policy objectives provides more information.

    For example, primary backup and replication to a remote server.

  3. Use the following tables to list all required primary backup types or retention type and their associated retention periods.
  4. For centralized and crash consistent protection, list the backup frequency and start and end times for each primary backup type.
  5. Identify a protection storage system and storage unit where PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance should store the primary backup or retention.

    For this target, identify any required virtual networks or interfaces, and whether retention locking is required.

  6. If replication is required, identify the remote protection storage system and storage unit.
