Creating a protection plan

A protection plan can be applied to multiple machines at the time of its creation, or later. When you create a plan, the system checks the operating system and the device type (for example, workstation, virtual machine, etc.) and shows only those plan modules that are applicable to your devices.

A protection plan can be created in two ways:

• In the Devices section – when you select the device or devices to be protected and then create a plan for them.
• In the Plans section – when you create a plan and then select the machines to be applied to.

Let's consider the first way.

To create the first protection plan

1. In the service console, go to Devices > All devices.
2. Select the machines that you want to protect.
3. Click Protect, and then click Create plan.You will see the protection plan with the default settings.

   

4. [Optional] To modify the protection plan name, click on the pencil icon next to the name.
5. [Optional] To enable or disable the plan module, click the switch next to the module name.
6. [Optional] To configure the module parameters, click the corresponding section of the protection plan.
7. When ready, click Create.
