Protect Red Hat Virtualization VMs or intelligent VM groups

Use the following procedure to subscribe an asset (Red Hat Virtualization VMs or intelligent VM groups) to a protection plan. When you subscribe an asset to a protection plan, you assign predefined backup settings to the asset.

Note:

The RBAC role that is assigned to you must give you access to the assets that you want to manage and to the protection plans that you want to use.

To protect Red Hat Virtualization VMs or VM groups

  1. On the left, click Red Hat Virtualization.
  2. On the Virtual machines tab or Intelligent VM groups tab, click the box for the VM or the VM group and click Add protection.
  3. Select a protection plan and click Next.
  4. You can adjust one or more of the following settings:

    • Schedules and retention

      Change the backup start window.

    • Backup options

      Adjust the server or host to use for backups.

  5. Click Protect.

    The results of your choices appear under Virtual machines or Intelligent VM groups.
