Application Scenarios

A backup policy allows CBR to automatically back up vaults at specified times or intervals. Periodic backups can be used to restore data quickly against data corruption or loss.

You should ensure that the maximum backup interval in the backup policy meets your requirements. The longer the interval, the more data may be lost.

For example, if the policy backs up at 10 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the maximum backup interval is 72 hours, that is, from 10 p.m. on Saturday to 10 p.m. on Tuesday.

Solution

Modify the policy to ensure that the backup interval meets your requirements. For details, see Modifying a Policy.

Rule Logic

If a backup policy is disabled, this CBR backup policy is non-compliant.
If the backup interval of a policy is less than or equal to the specified interval, this rule is compliant.
If the backup interval of a policy is greater than the specified interval, this CBR backup policy is non-compliant.
