An informational message appears to confirm that PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance has saved the protection policy. For centralized backups, when a new protection policy is created, PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance performs the first full backup and subsequent backups according to the specified schedule.

When the protection policy is created, a policy configuration job is started. For a PowerStore block volume type policy, this job creates a user with privileges for the target protection storage that is selected for this policy. The name of this user is in the format user_ targetStorageName_UniqueIdentifier. One user is always created for every target protection storage system selected. If the target storage is a DM5500 system, then a DPIAM user is created. If the target storage is an external DD system (for example, for a replication objective), then a DD user is created.

Click OK to exit the window, or click Go to Jobs to open the Jobs > Protection Jobs window to monitor the backup of the new protection policy.
