Policy-based automated data protection using Protection Manager

Typically, data and resource management is time consuming because it involves manual analysis and management of storage capacity, network bandwidth, schedules, retention policies, and other infrastructure variables. Protection Manager simplifies this work by employing configuration policies (that you can assign to multiple storage systems, volumes, or qtrees), convenient wizards, and automated verification of certain aspects of the data protection configuration.

The protection application can perform the following actions:

Use protection policies to manage primary data, storage, and backup and mirror relationships.
Manage local and remote backups and mirror copies.
Provision the secondary storage for backups and mirrored copies based on policies you assign.
Enable disaster recovery capability if you install the licensed disaster recovery option.
Automatically validate your backup and disaster recovery configuration with a conformance checker.

For details, see the Provisioning Manager and Protection Manager Administration Guide.
