Overview of Creating a Plan Using the UDP Appliance Wizard

A plan is a collection of steps that define what nodes to back up and when to back up. The Arcserve UDP appliance lets you create basic plans. Creating a plan using the UDP Appliance wizard is a three step process:

1. Add the nodes you want to protect. You can select Windows nodes or virtual machines from vCenter/ESX or Hyper-V servers.
2. Define the backup schedule.
3. Review and confirm the plan.

   

In addition to a basic plan, Arcserve UDP lets you create complex plans and control many parameters from the UDP Console. To create complex plans from the UDP Console, see the Arcserve UDP Solutions Guide.
