Unsubscribe an asset from a protection plan

You can unsubscribe individual assets or groups of assets from a protection plan.

Note:

When you unsubscribe an asset from a protection plan, there is a possibility that the asset displays Classic policy in the web UI. This situation can happen when an asset is subscribed to a protection plan and a backup runs for that asset. Then the asset is unsubscribed from the protection plan while it has a valid backup image. The web UI displays Classic policy, but there may or may not be an active policy protecting the asset.

To unsubscribe a single asset from a protection plan

  1. On the left, click Workloads then the workload type (for example: VMware).
  2. Select a single asset type (for example: Virtual machines).
  3. Click on the specific asset name.
  4. Click Remove protection and click Yes.

To unsubscribe a group of assets from the protection plan

  1. On the left, click Workloads then the workload type (for example: VMware).
  2. Select a group asset type (for example: Intelligent VM groups).
  3. Click on the specific group asset name.
  4. Click Remove protection and click Yes.
