Dell PowerStore Protecting Your Data

Remote backup basic workflow

Backing up resources to a PowerProtect DD is the basic action that you can perform. When backups are created on a PowerProtect DD, you can browse and retrieve them. Every remote backup action is linked to a remote backup session that enables you to track its progress.

1. Add a remote system connection for remote backup.
2. Create a remote backup rule.
3. Create a protection policy—Only one remote backup rule can be added to a protection policy.
4. Assign a protection policy—Assign a policy that includes a remote backup rule to a volume or volume group.
   A remote backup session is created and displayed in the Backup Sessions tab of the Remote Backup page.
