Before migrating storage policies to laptop plans or backup plans, understand how storage policies and plans are similar and how they differ.
Both storage policies and backup plans define how and where backups are stored. However, Backup plans in the Command Center provide a more comprehensive configuration by also including backup content and scheduling details.
Differences Between Backup Plans and Storage Policies
| Command Center | CommCell Console | What the Setting Specifies |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery Point Objective (RPO) | Schedule policies | Backup frequency |
| Backup destination | Storage policies | Where the backups are stored |
| Backup content | Subclient policies | The files and folders to back up |
