Edit or delete a protection plan

Edit a protection plan

You can make changes to the Description, Storage options, and Schedules (limited) for a protection plan.

Note:

You cannot edit these settings in a protection plan: Backup options and Advanced options. If you want to adjust these settings and additional schedule settings, you must create a new protection plan and subscribe assets to the new plan. Or, you can customize the plan for the asset.

See Customizing protection plans.

To edit a protection plan

  1. On the left, click Protection > Protection plans.
  2. Click on the protection plan name that you want to edit.
  3. Click Edit description to edit the description.
  4. (Optional) In the Storage options section, click Edit to change the storage options.
Delete a protection plan

You cannot delete a protection plan unless all assets have been removed from the protection plan. If you want to maintain protection on the assets, add another protection plan to those assets before you delete the current protection plan.

To delete a protection plan

  1. On the left, click Protection > Protection plans.
  2. Select the check box for the protection plan that you want to delete.
  3. Click Delete > Yes.
