PowerProtect Data Manager 19.16 File System User Guide

Select a protection policy purpose

Select from the list of supported purposes.

On the Purpose page, select one of the following options to indicate the purpose of the new protection policy group, and then click Next:

Centralized Protection—PowerProtect Data Manager manages the complete protection life cycle. The backup trigger is part of the protection policy.
Self-Service Protection—The application administrators and the local application on the host handle backing up data and provide the backup triggers as necessary. The local application passes backup data to PowerProtect Data Manager, which manages the rest of the protection life cycle.
Exclusion—Marks the specified assets as intentionally exempt from data protection operations. Otherwise, assets that are not assigned to any protection policy are reported as unprotected. PowerProtect Data Manager restricts the specified assets from being assigned to other protection policies.

The wizard moves to the Assets page. Continue to Select protection policy assets.
