Protection plan
NetBackup for OpenStack's tenant driven backup service gives tenants control over backup protections. However, sometimes it may be too much control to tenants and the cloud administrators may want to limit what protections are allowed by tenants. For example, a tenant may exceed its quota by performing full backups at a very high frequency. If every tenant was to pursue such a backup protection, it may affect the resource limits set on the cloud infrastructure. Instead, if the NetBackup administrator can define predefined protection plans and each tenant is only limited to those protections then NetBackup administrators can exert better control over backup service.
