Plans for Protecting, Archiving, and Classifying Data

You create plans to protect your data. In the plan, you define what data to back up, where to back up the data, and how often to run the backup. You can create base plans that can be used as templates for other plans.

Plan Types

There are different plan types that apply to different types of data. Use the Guided Setup to first configure the type of data to protect. Based on your configurations you may see the following plan types.
