PowerProtect Data Manager 19.17 Storage Array User Guide
Before you add a protection policy for block volume protection
Review the prerequisites and best practices in this section and the following topics before you continue.
Additional procedures for system administrators
The PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide provides more information about procedures that require the Administrator role. The PowerProtect Data Manager system administrator typically performs these procedures, some of which have server-wide effect.
Many of these procedures are not specific to this asset type. However, some procedures in the PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide are prerequisites for, or also applicable to, asset protection. For example:
- Adding and configuring protection storage, including storage units
- Adding and configuring virtual networks
- Managing protection policies, including adding or removing assets, and disabling a policy, and protection rules
- Managing backups, such as editing retention periods and deleting backup copies
- Monitoring and managing any running jobs
Review these procedures when required for your environment or when called out by a task in this guide. If required, coordinate with your PowerProtect Data Manager system administrator or backup and restore administrators.
Maintaining protection policies
Refer to the PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide for more information about editing, disabling, or deleting protection policies.
You can change any of the following information for an existing enabled or disabled protection policy:
- Policy name and description
- Adding or removing assets from the policy
- Backup and replication schedule
NOTE: You can delete any backup schedule except for the first one that was created. The first backup schedule created cannot be deleted.
- Settings for network interface, storage target, storage unit, and retention lock
You cannot modify a protection policy type or purpose. For these actions, add a policy with the new type or purpose. Storage quotas cannot be changed by editing a policy.
NOTE:Once you save changes for an enabled or disabled policy, most changes take effect immediately. For a disabled policy's primary backup schedules, however, the changes do not take effect until you enable the policy again, since these schedules do not run in
