Data Classification properties
The Data Classification properties apply to currently selected primary and media servers.
Data classifications must be configured in the Data Classification host properties before storage lifecycle policies can be configured.
See Data classifications (policy attribute).
The Data Classification dialog box contains the following properties.
Table: Data Classification dialog box properties
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Rank column | The Rank column displays the rank of the data classifications. The order of the data classifications determines the rank of the classification in relationship to the others in the list. The lowest numbered rank has the highest priority. Use the Move Up and Move Down options to move the classification up or down in the list. To create a new data classification, click . New data classifications are added to bottom of the list. To increase the rank of a data classification, select a line and click . To decrease the rank of a data classification, select a line and click . |
Name column | The Name column displays the data classification name. While data classifications cannot be deleted, the data classification names can be modified. NetBackup provides the following data classifications by default:
|
Description column | In the Description column, enter a meaningful description for the data classification. Descriptions can be modified. |
Data Classification ID | The Data Classification ID is the GUID value that identifies the data classification and is generated when a new data classification is added and the host property is saved. This column is not displayed by default. A data classification ID becomes associated with a backup image by setting the Data Classification attribute in the policy dialog box. The ID is written into the image header. The storage lifecycle policies use the ID to identify the images that are associated with classification. ID values can exist in image headers indefinitely, so data classifications cannot be deleted. The name, description, and rank can change without changing the identity of the data classification. |
Note:
Data classifications cannot be deleted. However, the name, description, and the rank can be changed. The classification ID remains the same.
