Creating a Protection Plan

A protection plan is an automated script that stores capacity-optimized 

archive versions of your specified files on GoVault cartridges. When 

creating a protection plan, you specify the:

• Files that you want to protect

To help you get started, the GoVault data protection software 

provides three categories for file specification:
•

 automatically specifies productivity 

files in the 

 folder on the local hard disk 

drive—usually drive C—including your:
• Microsoft 

 e-mail settings and .pst files 

• Desktop settings
• Application data settings 
• Internet favorites
•

 and 

 folders

You could use the archives created by this option to restore your 

e-mail files and re-create the “look and feel” of your desktop after 

a serious system failure.

•

 inhibits the preselection of any files and requires you to 

specify the exact files, folders and drives.

•

 automatically specifies all files and folders on all local 

disk drives.

• Name and brief description of the protection plan
• GoVault cartridge that you want the protection plan to use

By default, the GoVault data protection software automatically 

assigns each protection plan to all new cartridges. You can choose 

instead to assign a specific cartridge to each protection plan.

• Run schedule for the protection plan

You can schedule your plan to run either automatically—on a daily, 

weekly, or monthly basis—or manually, whenever you want.
