SonicWALL CDP 6.0 Administrator’s Guide
Step 3
Enter a descriptive Policy Name .
Step 4
Enter a Quota in gigabytes. This is the amount of storage on disk available to agents that inherit
this policy.
Step 5
Select either Size or Size on Disk for the Quota Size .
Size is calculated by adding up the sizes of each backed up file, as reported on the agent file
system. Size on Disk is calculated from the actual storage space required on the SonicWALL
CDP appliance, which can be considerably smaller than Size , because of data de-duplication.
For information about data de-duplication, see the “About Data De-Duplication” section on
page 10 .
An agent that inherits this policy will be able to back up more data for a given Quota if Size on
Disk is selected.
Step 6
Under Select Continuous Data Protection Task , select the CDP type backup task to be used
in this policy. This task provides agents with a CDP type backup task to which they can add files
and folders for continuous backup.
Step 7
Under Select Fileset Tasks and/or Application Tasks , select the checkboxes for any Fileset
or Application type backup tasks that should be included in this global policy. These tasks
define files or client applications that must be backed up on each agent that inherits this policy.
Step 8
Under Administrator’s Agent Override , select a Files and Folders object that defines files or
folders to be excluded and prevented from backup by the agent.
Step 9
Click OK to implement the new policy.
You can assign this policy as the default for certain agents on the Agents > Manage page.
