Typically, you perform protection policy tasks in the following sequence:

  1. During the planning phase, group the databases into tiers, and decide the recovery requirements for each tier.

    "Planning for Recovery Appliance" describes these tasks.

  2. During the configuration phase (see "Setup and Configuration for Recovery Appliance"), create one protection policy for each database tier.

    1. Optionally, if your Recovery Appliance has access to a backup polling location, and if you are performing configuration using command-line tools, then create a backup polling policy.

      "Creating a Backup Polling Policy (Command-Line Only)" describes this task.

      Note:

      Cloud Control enables you to configure the polling policy and the protection policy in the same page.

    2. Create a protection policy for a specific database tier.

      "Creating a Protection Policy" describes this task.

  3. During the ongoing maintenance phase (see "Maintenance Tasks for Recovery Appliance"), modify protection policies as needed. Typical modification tasks include:
