Protection plan vs. policy FAQs
You can protect an asset using a NetBackup classic policy, a protection plan, or both at the same time. This topic answers some common questions about NetBackup classic policies in the NetBackup web UI.
Table: Classic policy FAQ
Question | Answer |
|---|---|
In the web UI's Protected by column, what does Classic policy only mean? | The asset is not currently subscribed to a protection plan. However, it was subscribed to a protection plan. Or, it was covered by a classic policy at one time and it has a Last backup status. There may or may not be an active classic policy protecting the asset (contact the NetBackup administrator to find out). |
Where can I find the details of a classic policy? | The details of a classic policy are not visible in the web UI, with the exception of a few policy types. |
How can I manage a classic policy? | Some policy types can be managed in the NetBackup web UI. See Support for NetBackup classic policies. For other classic policies, use the NetBackup Administration Console or the NetBackup CLIs. A user with the RBAC "Administrator" role can manage and create policies using the NetBackup APIs. |
When should I subscribe an asset to a protection plan versus protecting the asset with a classic policy? | A protection plan lets you easily add and remove assets from the plan and see which assets are protected. A workload administrator can fully control who can view or manage protection plans and assets. Policies offer the classic method of data protection. However, they do not have RBAC control for individual policies or for the data you want to protect. |
Can I use both a protection plan and a classic policy to protect an asset? | Yes. The web UI shows the details of the protection plan but not the details of the classic policy. You can contact the NetBackup administrator for the classic policy details. |
What action should I take when an asset is unsubscribed from a protection plan and the web UI shows Classic policy only for that asset? | You can ask the NetBackup administrator if a classic policy protects the asset. |
