Actions with protection plans

After creating a protection plan, you can perform the following actions with it:

• Apply a plan to a workload or a device group.
• Rename a plan.

• Edit a plan.

  You can enable and disable the modules in a plan, and change their settings.

• Enable or disable a plan.

  A disabled plan will not run on the workloads to which it is applied.

  This action is convenient for administrators who intend to protect the same workload with the same plan later. The plan is not revoked from the workload and you can quickly restore the protection by re-enabling the plan.

• Revoke a plan from a workload.

  A revoked plan is not applied to the workload anymore.

  This action is convenient for administrators who do not need rapid protection for the same workload with the same plan again. To restore the protection provided by a revoked plan, you must know the name of this plan, select it from the list of available plans, and then re-apply it to the respective workload.

• Stop a plan.

  This action stops all running backup operations on all workloads to which the plan is applied. Backups will start again according to the plan schedule.

  Antimalware scanning is not affected by this action and will proceed as configured in the schedule.

• Clone a plan.

  You can create an exact copy of an existing plan. The new plan is not assigned to any workloads.

• Export and import a plan.

  You can export a plan as a JSON file, which you can import back later. Thus, you do not need to create a new plan manually and configure its settings.

  This feature is not available for plans at the partner level. For more information about this level, see Administration levels in the Cyber Protect console.

• Check the details of a plan.
• Check the activities and alerts related to a plan.
• Delete a plan.
