Operations with protection plans

For information about how to create a protection plan, refer to "Creating a protection plan".

Available actions with a protection plan

You can perform the following actions with a protection plan:

  • Rename a plan
  • Enable/disable modules and edit each module settings

  • Enable/disable a plan

    A disabled plan will not be carried out on the device to which it is applied.

    This action is convenient for administrators who intend to protect the same device with the same plan later. The plan is not revoked from the device and to restore the protection, the administrator must only re-enable the plan.

  • Apply a plan to devices or group of devices

  • Revoke a plan from a device

    A revoked plan is not applied to a device anymore.

    This action is convenient for administrators who do not need to protect quickly the same device with the same plan again. To restore the protection of a revoked plan, the administrator must know the name of this plan, select it from the list of available plans, and then re-apply it to the desired device.

  • Import/export a plan

    You can only import protection plans created in Acronis Cyber Protect 15. Protection plans created in older versions are incompatible with Acronis Cyber Protect 15.

  • Delete a plan
