Managing a Backup Policy

Updated on 2024-10-25 GMT+08:00

A backup policy defines the scheduling rule of the system to automatically back up protected objects. The backup policy includes the scheduling plan, backup retention rule, and backup verification rule. One backup policy can be used by multiple backup plans. You can view, modify, clone, and delete an existing backup policy.

Operation

Navigation Path

Description

Key Parameters

Viewing a backup policy

  • Viewing basic information:

    On the navigation bar, choose > Backup Policy.

  • Viewing details:

    On the navigation bar, choose > Backup Policy. On the displayed page, click the backup policy you want to view.

Background

You want to view information about a backup policy, including the scheduling plan, backup data layout, and associated backup plans.

Precautions

Before performing this operation, ensure that the backup policy has been created.

  • Data Layout

    Layout of backups in repositories. The value can be:

    • Regular

      Compression is not enabled. Backups are retained in a general layout.

    • Compress

      Backup data is compressed, reducing the backend storage capacity required.

  • Backup Plan

    Number of backup plans associated with the backup policy

Modifying a backup policy

On the navigation bar, choose > Backup Policy. Move the mouse pointer to the backup policy you want to modify and click in the button area on the right, or click the backup policy you want to modify and click in the preview area on the right.

Background

You can modify a backup policy associated with a backup plan to adjust the backup time, scheduling plan, and retry policy of the protected objects in the backup plan.

Precautions

  • Before performing this operation, ensure that the backup policy has been created.
  • After a backup policy is modified, the system will automatically update pending backup jobs associated with the backup policy. Ongoing backup jobs will be executed based on the old policy.

None

Cloning a backup policy

On the navigation bar, choose > Backup Policy. Move the mouse pointer to the backup policy you want to clone and click in the button area on the right, or click the backup policy you want to clone and click in the preview area on the right.

Background

You want to clone a backup policy to create a duplicate. Then you can modify the duplicate to quickly obtain a new backup policy instead of creating one, saving configuration time.

Precautions

Before performing this operation, ensure that the backup policy has been created.

None

Deleting a backup policy

  1. On the navigation bar, choose > Backup Policy.
  2. Click the backup policy you want to delete, and check whether it is associated with any backup plan in the preview area on the right.
    • If any associated backup plan is displayed in the Backup Plan area, find it on the backup plan page. Modify the backup plan to remove the association between the backup policy and the backup plan. Or, delete the backup plan after confirming that it is no longer needed. Then delete the backup policy.
    • If no associated backup plans are displayed in the Backup Plan area, delete the backup policy directly.
  3. Delete the backup policy using either of the following methods:
    • Move the mouse pointer to the backup policy you want to delete and click in the button area on the right.
    • Click the backup policy you want to delete and click in the preview area on the right.

Background

You want to delete a backup policy that you no longer need.

Precautions

  • Before performing this operation, ensure that the backup policy to be deleted is not associated with any backup plan.
  • After a backup policy is deleted, the system will automatically cancel pending backup jobs associated with the backup policy.
