# 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 Commvault deployment steps to first configure the type of data to protect. Based on your configurations you may see the following plan types.

Plan type | Applies to
--- | ---
Laptop plans | End-user devices such as laptops
Backup plans | Database agents data File system agents data Exchange applications data IntelliSnap backups Virtualization (streaming): All hypervisor data
Exchange plans | Exchange Mailbox data
Office 365 plans | Office 365 data For information about using Office 365 plans, see the documentation for the Office 365 product that you want to back up. For example, for information about using an Office 365 plan for Exchange Online, see Create an Office 365 Plan for Exchange Online.
Data classification plans | Data Insights data

# Permissions for Plans

To create plans, users must have certain security permissions. For information about creating users and user groups and assigning permissions, see Users and User Groups.

Task | Permission | Associated CommCell entities
