Backup plans for cloud applications

The Plans > Cloud applications backup section shows cloud-to-cloud backup plans. These plans back up applications running in the cloud by means of agents that run in the cloud and use the cloud storage as a backup location.

In this section, you can perform the following operations:

• Create, view, run, stop, edit, and delete a backup plan
• View activities related to each backup plan
• View alerts related to each backup plan

Running cloud-to-cloud backups manually

To prevent disrupting the Cyber Protection service, the number of manual cloud-to-cloud backup runs is limited to 10 runs per Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace organization during an hour. After this number has been reached, the number of runs allowed is reset to one per hour, and then an additional run becomes available each hour thereafter (e.g. hour 1, 10 runs; hour 2, 1 run; hour 3, 2 runs) until a total of 10 runs per hour is reached.

Backup plans applied to groups of devices (mailboxes, drives, sites) or containing more than 10 devices cannot be run manually.
