Creating a protection plan

You can create a protection plan in the following ways:

  1. On the Devices tab. Select one or more workloads to protect, and then create a protection plan for them.
  2. On the Management > Protection plans tab. Create a protection plan, and then select one or more workloads to which to apply the plan.
    When you create a protection plan, only the modules that are applicable to your type of workload are shown.

    You can apply a protection plan to more than one workload. You can also apply multiple protection plans to the same workload. To learn more about possible conflicts, refer to Resolving plan conflicts.
