vmPRO SmartMotion Backup Policies

Create backup policies to direct SmartMotion™ Backups. You can create a single backup policy or multiple

backup policies for a vmPRO appliance. Creating multiple backup policies allows for multiple backup and

retention schedules, as well as the use of multiple storage targets.

After creating backup policies, you can define a default policy to use as a sample for creating future policies.

Considerations

Consider the following before creating backup policies:

FolderstoBackUp

When your vmPRO appliance discovers a server, it creates a folder for that server and its associated

virtual machines (VMs). You can configure additional folders to organize VMs based on backup needs,

such as by geographic location.

Assign backup policies to folders and their associated VMs. Keep in mind that VMs can belong to only

one folder at a time, but folders can have multiple backup policies assigned to them. A VM can be backed

up multiple times with different backup policies.

StorageTargets

Select the storage target to which SmartMotion will back up the selected VMs. If needed, you can

configure new storage targets or edit existing storage targets.

Backup policies are controlled by the vmPRO appliance for which they were created, regardless of

storage targets.

Example

If vmPRO A and vmPRO B send data to the same storage target, the data exported by vmPRO A is

backed up and retained based on backup policies configured for vmPRO A. This data is not affected

by vmPRO B's backup and retention policies. The same applies for vmPRO B, where its backed-up
