Creating a Server Plan for IntelliSnap

To start protecting your data, you must create a plan.

Before You Begin

If you have not already done so, create a storage pool. For information, see Storage Pool.

Procedure

1. From the navigation pane, expand Configuration, and then click Plans.

   The Plans page appears.

2. Click Create plan, and then click Server.

   The Create a server backup plan dialog box appears.

3. In the Plan name box, type the name of the plan.

4. Under Storage, set the storage options:

   1. To change the storage, in the row for the primary storage, click the action button , and then click Edit.

      The Edit storage dialog box appears.

      1. In the Name box, type a unique name for the storage, for example Primary.

      2. From the Storage pool list, select the pool to use.

      3. Optional: In the Retention period box, type the number of days that the software retains the data.

      4. Click Save.

5. Optional: Under RPO (recovery point objective), update the RPO options:

   1. To update how often data is backed up, in the Backup frequency box, enter how often backup jobs will run.

   2. To update the backup window, beside the Backup window, click the text, and then in the Edit backup window dialog box, select the days and times when backup jobs will run.

6. Click Snapshot options, and then specify the following options:

   1. In the Number of snap recovery points box, type the number of jobs to retain on a snapshopt copy.

   2. In the Backup copy RPO box, type an interval to schedule the backup copy.

      Note

      By default, the backup copy is on and you cannot turn it off when you create a plan. After you create the plan, you can edit it and turn the backup copy off.

7. Click Save.

Result

The software creates a plan and a storage policy.

When you configure secondary storage, the Commvault software automatically runs an auxiliary copy job every 30 minutes.
