Copy Policies

A Copy Policy defines what type of a Copy to create, where the Copy resides (Copy Repository), when to create a Copy (frequency) and how to manage the life cycle of a Copy (expiry and retention). A Copy Policy, a centralized template is a collection of protection rules. You can apply a Policy to multiple application resources or volumes. Copy Policy is a resource that contains different Copy Types and is used to protect a database using the different Copy Types. Copy Policy is categorized as Platinum Policy, Gold Policy, Silver Policy, and Bronze Policy. This is based on the Copy Types contained in them. Based on the copy policy you have assigned for a database, the Add Protection page lists the resources contained in it.

You can define Copy Policies in the following three methods:

• Use a standard RMC shipped Copy Policy.

• Customize — Duplicate and edit a standard policy.

• Create a Copy Policy.
