Configuration Workflow for Scheduling Snapshots

Prev Next

To configure scheduled snapshots for local backup:

  1. Create a protection policy. See Managing Protection Policies.Managing Protection Policies

    A protection policy specifies a starting time and a frequency for taking snapshots. It also specifies how long to retain snapshots on the cluster.

  2. Create a local protected path. See Managing Protected Paths.Managing Protected Paths

    The protected path defines a local data path to capture in snapshots according to a specified protection policy. A protected path is activated on creation.
