Step 5: Adding a New Protected Item
Protected items determine what
Once the client is online and logged in to the Zmanda Pro server, you can begin configuring protected items either directly on the client or through the Zmanda Pro console.
To create a Protected Item using the Zmanda Pro console, you can log in either as a regular user or as an administrator. Below are the steps to set up a protected item from an admin perspective using the Zmanda Pro console:
Access the Users page on the Zmanda Pro console.
Click on the user linked to your device.
Navigate to the Protected Items tab.
Click on Add Protected Item...
Select a type for the Protected Item and enter the necessary details such as file paths or database connection credentials.
Optionally, configure any pre-scripts or post-scripts. These will execute directly on the device where the client is installed. (Bash for Linux, and cmd for Windows)
Create Schedules as desired. Multiple schedules may be stacked on top of each other to achieve 3-2-1 backup policies (and more advanced policies if desired).
Optionally, configure retention policies for this protected item. This will override any storage vault-level retention policies.
Click Save to finalize the configuration. Backups will automatically begin to run on your configured schedules.
