Creating a NetBackup protection plan for cloud assets
A protection plan defines when backups are performed, how long the backups are retained, and the type of storage to use. Once you have set up a protection plan, you can subscribe assets to that protection plan.
To create a protection plan
- Sign in to the NetBackup Web UI.
- From the left navigation pane, click Protection plans and then click Add from the right hand side.
- On the Basic properties panel, do the following:
Enter a Name and Description for the plan.
From the Workload drop-down, select Cloud.
From the Cloud Provider drop-down, select a cloud provider. NetBackup supports homogenous cloud asset subscriptions. While subscribing an asset to a protection plan, the cloud provider of the asset must be the same as the cloud provider defined in the protection plan.
Click Next.
- On the Schedules and retention panel, specify the desired backup schedule and then click Next.
- Configure the remaining options as per your requirement and click Finish to create the protection plan.
The Protection plans pane displays the plan you created.
- You can now proceed to assign assets to this protection plan.
