Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.13.0.0 Administrator Guide for DM5500

Editing a protection policy

You can use the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance UI to change any of the following information for an existing enabled or disabled protection policy:

  • Policy name and description
  • Adding or removing assets from the policy
    NOTE: You can delete any full or synthetic-full backup schedule except for the first one that was created. The first backup schedule created cannot be deleted.
  • Backup and replication schedule
  • Backup optimization mode
  • Settings for network interface, storage target, and retention lock

You cannot modify a protection policy type or purpose. For these actions, add a policy. Storage quotas cannot be changed by editing a policy.

NOTE: Once you save changes for an enabled or disabled policy, most changes take effect immediately. For a disabled policy's primary backup schedules, however, the changes do not take effect until you reenable the policy, since these schedules do not run in Disabled state.
