Creating CDP Policies

To protect VMs with CDP, you must configure a CDP policy. The CDP policy defines which VMs to protect, where to store replicas, how often create short-term and long-term restore points, and so on. One CDP policy can process one or multiple VMs.

To create a CDP policy use the New CDP Policy wizard.

1. Check prerequisites.
2. Launch the New CDP Policy wizard.
3. Specify a job name and advanced settings.
4. Select VMs to replicate.
5. Exclude objects from being replicated.
6. Specify the VM processing order.
7. Select a destination for replicas.
8. Configure network mapping.
9. Configure re-IP rules.
10. Configure seeding and mapping.
11. Specify data transfer and replica settings.
12. Specify notification settings.
13. Configure a replication schedule.
14. Specify guest processing settings.
15. Finish working with the wizard.
