You can create backup policies to easily control and manage your backup operations.
One of the advantages of using Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) is that you can use global settings and backup policies to control your backups and other operations. Global settings control how your server processes backups in a very general way.
A backup policy is a group of defaults that controls what information is saved, how it is saved, and where it is saved. Once you set up your backup policies, you can run them at any time or schedule them to run at particular times. This way, you can ensure that your backups are complete and are done when it is most convenient and appropriate for your business.
There are several basic backup policies that come with BRMS. You may be able to meet your backup needs by using these shipped policies, either alone or in combination. If so, you may not have to create any policies of your own.
When you back up data using a BRMS backup policy, information about each item backed up is stored in the save history. This information includes the item name, type of save done on that item, the date of the save, and the volume on which each item is saved. You specify the level of detail you want to track for each item in the properties for the policy. You can then restore items by selecting them from the save history; the information in the save history is also used for full system recoveries.
