Assets with a protection type
When a user selects a managed protection level from those available to a protection type, this action adds the computer to one or more NetBackup policies. Self Service holds a threshold (in hours) for each policy it is aware of. Evaluating the thresholds of all the known policies that an asset is in determines its red, amber, or green status. Assets with a protection type that includes an unmanaged protection level are evaluated with a red or a green traffic light. The traffic light color is dependent on the existence of a backup matching the unmanaged protection level's policy name.
Table: Computers with Protection Types
Color | Computer state |
|---|---|
Green | Protection level applied, and all policies have backups within their threshold; or the policy has been set to Always show as protected |
Amber | No protection level has been applied to the computer |
Red | Protection level applied, but one or more policies have no backups, or the most recent backup is outside of its threshold |
Note:
If an asset is in a NetBackup policy but no protection level is found, the policy is not considered when the color status is determined.
Assets that are protected with only a Backup Now process are not included in the count and are not shown as protected.
