PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Kubernetes User Guide
Supported protection policy objectives
Each objective of a protection policy accomplishes one of the following purposes:
- Primary Backup—Creates and updates the catalog of backups for data that is protected by a centralized protection policy.
- Replication—Sends a replica of designated backups or retentions, along with the associated metadata, to a remote server for additional redundancy.
- Cloud Tier—Moves the designated backups, retentions, or replicas from the local protection storage to an associated cloud unit for long-term storage or archival purposes.
Primary backup objective
A primary backup objective contains a backup target and one or more schedules.
The backup target determines where and how PowerProtect Data Manager stores the asset backups:
- Which protection storage system and storage unit to use.
- Which network interface is necessary to reach the selected protection storage system.
- Whether to activate retention locking that protects against accidental deletion or tampering.
The schedules determine what and when PowerProtect Data Manager backs up:
- The types of backups to perform.
- When backups should start.
- How often to perform each type of backup.
- How long to retain each type of backup.
- The times when PowerProtect Data Manager can and cannot perform backups.
Replication objective
A replication objective contains a replication target and one or more schedules.
The replication target determines where and how PowerProtect Data Manager stores the replicas:
- Which protection storage system and storage unit to use.
- Which network interface is necessary to reach the selected protection storage system.
- Whether to activate retention locking that protects against accidental deletion or tampering.
The schedules determine what and when PowerProtect Data Manager replicates:
- The types of backups to replicate.
- When replication should start.
- How often to replicate.
- How long to retain each replica.
- The times when PowerProtect Data Manager can and cannot replicate.
Cloud tier objective
A cloud tier objective contains tiering rules:
- Which backups, retentions, or replicas to move to the cloud tier.
- When to move data to the cloud tier.
