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

  1. Sign in to the NetBackup Web UI.
  2. From the left navigation pane, click Protection plans and then click Add from the right hand side.
  3. On the Basic properties panel, do the following:
    • Enter a Name and Description for the plan.

    • From the Workload drop-down, select Cloud.

    • Click Next.

  4. On the Schedules and retention panel, specify the desired backup schedule and then click Next.
  5. 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.

  6. You can now proceed to assign assets to this protection plan.

    See Subscribing cloud assets to a NetBackup protection plan.

For detailed information about managing protection plans, refer to the NetBackup Web UI Backup Administrator's Guide.
