PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Administration and User Guide

Restricted mode

You can enable restricted mode to prevent scheduled writes to storage. You might want to enable restricted mode to limit access to storage during a storage upgrade.

Enabling restricted mode during a storage upgrade provides the following benefits:

  • Storage writes can be eliminated in a controlled manner. Once writes have stopped, storage can be upgraded.
  • Storage writes can be tested after storage has been upgraded. Once testing is complete, storage can be returned to full production.

Restricted mode prevents the following scheduled operations:

  • Backups and replication
  • Backup-copy deletion
  • Server disaster-recovery backups

Restricted mode allows the following operations:

  • Any jobs in progress or queued to run
  • Manual backups and restores
  • Discovery jobs

To enable restricted mode from the PowerProtect Data Manager user interface, click Settings icon, select System Settings > Restricted Mode, and then click Enable Restricted Mode.
