The Local Plans folder contains protection plans configured for protecting local data (versus data on remote computers). From here you can create and manage plans to protect local data.


Actions available for Local Plans include:


  • Protection Plans


Select the Protection Plans action to show all local protection plans for the Archive Manager server. From this view, each local plan can be manually run, reconfigured, scheduled, and deleted.


  • History


You can see the history for all local plans by selecting the History action. Each time a plan runs or is restored, an entry is added to the history list. By selecting an entry from the list, you can click the View Log link in the Result Details area to view the run log. See also, Protection Plan Results and Log Files.


  • Restore


To view local plan restore points, select the Local Plans folder, and click the Restore action. Days containing restore points are highlighted in bold font in the calendar. Select the restore point you want to restore, and the Restore button at the bottom right of the screen becomes active. Click Restore and a restore dialog box appears. Refer to Restoring Your Data for more information. If the restore point was from a Files and Folders or Computer System type protection plan, the Explore button will also become active, and you can explore and restore files as described in Explore a Plan's Archive.
