Backup

A backup plan is a set of rules that specify how the given data will be protected on a given machine.

A backup plan can be applied to multiple machines at the time of its creation, or later.

In on-premises deployments, if only the Standard licenses are present on the management server, a backup plan cannot be applied to multiple physical machines. Each physical machine must have its own backup plan.
