How Backup Policies Work
Data backup in SonicWALL CDP is accomplished via policies. Policies control the backup
activities performed by SonicWALL CDP.
Figure 2 illustrates a policy for a files and folders backup.
Figure 2 Policy Contents
Each backup policy contains one or more backup tasks.
Each backup task consists of two components:
•
An Application object or a Files and Folders object that defines what to include in the
backup
•
A Schedule object that defines when the backups will occur
Figure 3 illustrates the steps for creating a policy.
