Getting Started

configure The Storage Policy

A storage policy is automatically created when you configure a device.

A Storage Policy acts as a channel through which data is transferred to the storage device.  As the name indicates, a Storage Policy allows you to establish a comprehensive set of storage parameters - such as data retention, streams, deduplication, etc., for the data channeled through the storage policy.

In order to perform your first backup you should point the client to the storage policy as described below.

1. From the CommCell Console, navigate to Client | File System | Backup Set.

Right-click the Subclient and click Properties

2. Click the Storage Device tab.
3.
  • Click the Data Storage Policy tab.
  • From the Storage Policy list, click the name of a Storage Policy.
  • Click OK.
