VAST Data protectionpolicies API
A protection policy is a reusable configuration that defines a schedule for taking snapshots and optionally replicating them to a specified async replication peer or S3 replication peer. It defines how long to retain local snapshots. If the purpose of a protection policy is remote backup to either S3 or an async replication peer without local snapshot retention, then this is achieved by defining no retention for local snapshots. Once defined, a protection policy can be specified in the configuration of a protected path.
