NOTE:Compliance checks occur automatically every day at 2 a.m. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If any objectives are out of compliance, an alert is generated at 2 a.m. UTC. The
Validate job in the
System Jobs
window indicates the results of the daily compliance check.
For a backup SLA with a required RPO setting that is less than 24 hours,
PowerProtect Data Manager performs real-time compliance checks. If you selected
Compliance Window for copy type and set the backup level to
All, the real-time compliance check occurs every 15 minutes only within the compliance window. If the backup level is not
All, or if a compliance window is not specified, the real-time compliance check occurs every 15 minutes without stop.
NOTE:If the backup SLA has a required RPO setting of 24 hours or greater, compliance checks occur daily at 2 a.m. UTC. Real-time compliance checks do not occur for backup SLAs with an RPO setting of 24 hours or greater.
Real-time compliance-check behavior
If the asset was not backed up within the RPO backup interval requirement, an alert indicates that the RPO of the asset is out of compliance. This alert is generated once within an RPO period. If the same backup copy is missed when the next compliance check occurs, no further alerts are generated.
If the asset was backed up within the RPO backup interval requirement, the RPO of the asset is in compliance.
If multiple assets in a policy are out of compliance, a single alert is generated. This alert includes information for all the assets in the policy. In the
Alerts window, the asset count next to the alert summary indicates the number of assets that are out of compliance in the policy.
