Oh hello! Welcome to your tour of the Backup Plans page in Backup Radar.

The Backup Plans page is your list view of Backup Plans you've created, and your tool to edit, manually activate or deactivate, set prioritization order for, and delete your Backup Plans.

In Backup Radar, navigate to Manage > Backup Plans and follow the steps in the sections below to explore all the options available to you.

a. Expand/Collapse: This button expands and collapses the rules data for your Backup Plan. If you haven't assigned any rules to your Backup Plan, this will only display the message: "No Rules, all results will be ingested".


b. Plan name: This column displays the names for your Backup Plans.

c. Priority: This column displays the priority level for your Backup Plans.

Backup results can only belong to one Backup Plan at a time, and when new result data is received, Backup Radar tests your results against your Backup Plans in the priority order they appear in here until a criteria match is found.

In many cases, priority order doesn't affect how your results are processed (two or more Backup Plans would need to have the same vendor, application, and source for a conflict to even be possible).

However, if two Backup Plans have the same vendor, application, and source and the rules aren't mutually exclusive, Backup Radar will assign the backup to the highest priority Backup Plan that matches the criteria and won't consider the lower priority Backup Plan, so in those cases it's a good idea to adjust your priority order accordingly.

By default, newly created Backup Plans are assigned the lowest priority unless they're edited to a higher priority. See Edit Priority below for more details on how to modify your priority order.

d. Result Type: This column displays the result type (Backup or Alert) for your Backup Plans.

e. Backup Application: This column displays the backup application for your Backup Plans.

f. Backup Count: This column displays the total number of backup results or system alerts that match your Backup Plan's criteria and have been assigned to that Backup Plan. Clicking the number will bring you to the Edit Backups page and display these associated backups, which can be handy for editing these backups in bulk.

g. Date Created: This column displays the date a Backup Plan was initially created.

h. Edit Priority: After clicking Edit Priority, the drag handle allows you to drag and reorder your Backup Plans by priority.


i. Collapse All: This button allows you to collapse all expanded Backup Plans.

j. Add Backup Plan: This button allows you to create a new Backup Plan.

k. Last Edited: This column displays the date a Backup Plan was last modified.

l. Active: This column displays a Backup Plan's active/inactive status.

m.   Edit button: This button allows you to edit a specific Backup Plan.

n. Copy button: This button allows you to edit a specific Backup Plan.

o. Delete button: This button allows you to delete a specific Backup Plan.
