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.
