You can create a plan using a base plan as a template. The plans created from base plans are called derived plans.
When a plan is derived from a base plan, changes to the base plan also change the derived plan for options that are inherited. For example, if you change the RPO (recovery point objective) from 4 hours to 10 hours in a base plan, the RPOs for all of the plans inheriting RPO from that base plan are changed to 10 hours.

If the Override base setting check box is available, the derived plan can either inherit the base plan values or have different values. Select the check box to enter different values.

On the plan page, under Inherit settings, the base plan that you used as a template is listed. For each option, the relationship between the base plan and the derived plan is listed. For example, beside Storage pool, Inheriting from base plan is displayed.
