Creating a protection plan

A protection plan can be applied to multiple workloads 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 the following ways.

• In the Devices section – when you select the workload or workloads to be protected and then create a plan for them.
• In the Management > Protection plans section – when you create a plan and then select the workloads to be applied to.

To create a protection plan in the Devices section

1. In the service console, go to Devices > All devices.
2. Select the workloads that you want to protect, and then click Protect.
3. [If there are already applied plans] Click Add plan.

4. Click Create plan > Protection.
   A protection plan template opens.

5. To modify the protection plan name, click the pencil icon.

6. To enable or disable the plan module, click the switch next to the module name.

7. To configure the module parameters, click the corresponding section of the protection plan.

8. When ready, click Create.
