Running policies

Run a policy manually at any time so that it performs a specified action or actions.

1. Select Policies from the Main Menu.
2. Click the radio button at the beginning of the row for the policy that you want to run.
3. Click Actions and select one of the following:

   Table 1. Policy actionsThis table lists and describes the actions that a policy can run.

   Action	Description
   Copy	Click Copy and click Apply to start the Copy action. The Cyber Recovery software creates a PIT copy of the latest replication. NOTE: If the automatic retention lock feature is enabled, the Copy action is not available from the Actions drop-down list.
   Copy Lock	Click Copy Lock and click Apply to create a point-in-time (PIT) copy and then retention lock it. To retention lock an earlier PIT copy, see Managing copies.
   Sync	Click Sync and click Apply to start the Sync action. The Cyber Recovery software replicates the MTree from the production system to the Cyber Recovery vault. This replication synchronizes with the previous replication of the MTree. Cyber Recovery unlocks the Cyber Recovery vault to perform the replication. NOTE:When performing a Sync action, there might be a delay of up to 15 minutes, depending on the replication cycle on the production DD system. The Cyber Recovery software itself does not initiate a replication. Instead, it waits for the production DD system to synchronize its data over the replication interface and then validates the timestamp of the replicated data on the Cyber Recovery vault DD system.
   Sync Copy	Click Sync Copy and click Apply to start the Sync Copy action. The Cyber Recovery software performs a Sync and then a Copy action. NOTE: If the automatic retention lock feature is enabled, the Sync Copy action is not available from the Actions drop-down list.
   Secure Copy	Click Secure Copy, enter the retention lock duration, and then click Apply to start the Secure Copy action. The Cyber Recovery software performs a Sync, a Copy, and then a Lock action.
   Secure Copy Analyze	Click Secure Copy Analyze to start a Sync, Copy, Lock, and then an Analyze action. Enter the retention lock duration and the application nickname for the CyberSense feature. Optionally, use the slider next to Advanced Options to set more options (see Analyzing a copy for information about how to set these options). Click Apply. NOTE: The Secure Copy Analyze action is available only if the CyberSense application is installed in the Cyber Recovery deployment. If the deployment is using CyberSense version 8.2 or later and a multilink configuration is defined for the storage used by the policy to be analyzed, the drop-down list only lists the version 8.2 CyberSense host.
