To edit a backup plan
1. Open the Backup plans tab.
2. Select the backup plan that you want to edit, and then click Edit.
3. View or change the name, schedule, retention rules (p. 49), and backup options (p. 51).
4. Click OK.
Consequences of changing encryption
If you need to change the Encryption setting (to enable or disable encryption or to change the
password), consider the following:
Retention rules will no longer apply to the backups with the old encryption setting. You can only
delete those backups manually (p. 53).
Separate entries will be shown in the backup storage for sets of backups with different
encryption settings. During recovery, you will need to select the correct entry and type the
correct password.
The same happens when you apply a backup plan to a machine where another backup plan with a
different Encryption setting is applied.
2.6.3 Revoking a backup plan
When you revoke a backup plan from a machine, a currently running backup (if any) is stopped. The
machine will no longer be backed up until a backup plan is applied again. Backups of the machine are
retained in the backup storage until you delete them manually (p. 48).
To revoke a backup plan
1. Open the tab with the organization name.
2. Select one or more machines from which you want to revoke backup plans.
3. Click Revoke backup plan.
2.6.4 Deleting a backup plan
When you delete a backup plan, it is revoked (p. 53) from all machines to which it is applied (both
your machines and other users' machines) and it is removed from the list of backup plans.
To delete a backup plan
1. Open the Backup plans tab.
2. Select the backup plan that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
3. Confirm the deletion of the backup plan.
2.7 Generating usage reports
Usage reports provide historical data about using the backup service in your organization. You may
need these reports to calculate how much your organization will be charged for the service.
Reporting parameters
The values of all parameters are checked every day at 23:55 according to the time settings of vCloud
Director. The report uses the values as they were at that time.
The report includes the following parameters for the organization:
