Create protection plans

This section explains how to create and manage protection plans, which define how and what data is backed up. Protection plans specify which users, objects, or systems are included, how often backups are executed, and how long the backups are retained. They form the core of a structured and reliable backup strategy.

This section also includes guidance on creating backup plans for Azure Virtual Machines, including scheduling, retention policies, encryption, and optional features such as Disaster Recovery.
