Running policies

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

Steps

Select Policies from the Main Menu.
Select the policy that you want to run.

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
Secure Copy	Performs a Sync, a Copy, and then a Lock action.
Sync Copy	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.
Copy Lock	Retention locks the most recent point-in-time (PIT) copy. To retention lock an earlier PIT copy, see Managing copies.
Sync	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.
Copy	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.

Results

The policy starts a job that you can monitor on the Jobs page.

You cannot choose to run concurrent Sync or Lock actions for a policy. If you run a policy, and then run the same policy with an action that performs either a sync or lock operation, Cyber Recovery displays an informational message and does not create a job. When the initial job is completed, run the policy.

NOTE You can run concurrent Copy actions on a policy.
