Create a Backup Protection Plan

Having a backup protection plan in place helps to ensure that the data on a control service Replication Engine or on a process service Replication Engine is protected. Configuring a backup plan allows you to back up configuration data through scheduled intervals that enable automatic, continous data protection.

1. In the Oracle MaxRep for SAN GUI, navigate to Settings > Advanced Configuration > Configure Replication Engine Backup.
2. From the Select MaxRep drop-down list, select the Replication Engine that you mapped and mounted.
   Note: Each Replication Engine that has been configured for asynchronous replication needs to have its own backup LUN mapped and mounted before the Replication Engine is included on the drop-down list.
3. In the Configure Replication Engine Backup Job screen, fill in the required fields under Select LUNs for Backup.
   Note: For Schedule Interval, schedule Replication Engine backup protection to run, at minimum, once each day.
4. Click Save.
5. Click the Protect tab.
6. Click More, then click Manage Protected Files/Folders to verify that the Replication Engine backup protection plan that you created exists.
7. When the protection plan list is displayed, click the icon next to the plan to view the configuration details and manage the protection plan as needed.
