Stopping protection for individual sources

Depending on the needs of your data protection environment, you can at any time stop protecting individual sources in R‑Cloud.

Prerequisite

You must have the Administrator role assigned at the subscription or protection set level. For details, see Managing users.

Consideration

Depending on whether you are a subscription administrator or a protection set administrator, consider the following:

• If you are a subscription administrator: You can stop protecting sources in all protection sets in your data protection environment.

• If you are a protection set administrator: You can stop protecting the sources in the currently selected protection set.

Procedure

1. Unassign policies from all protected entities in the source. For instructions, see Stopping service charges.

2. Manually mark restore points of all entities in the source as expired. For instructions, see Expiring backups manually.

3. Remove the source from the protection set. For instructions, see Editing a protection set.

When the source is no longer protected, irrelevant notifications are prevented and the unneeded associated charges are avoided.
