After you've configured the foundational Commvault components—access nodes (required only for Commvault software self-hosted customers), credentials, backup plans, and storage—you can begin configuring backups and running restores.
Workload protection typically involves the following steps:
-
Connect Commvault to the system or service that hosts the workload.
-
Discover the resources that are available for protection.
-
Assign a backup plan that defines the backup schedule, retention settings, and storage location.
The exact steps depend on the type of workload you want to protect.
