Setting up backup policies from Applications list page

You can set up backup for applications of the local cluster from the Applications page. To setup backup for applications of both hub and spoke clusters, go to Backed up applications page.

1. Go to Applications from the menu.
   For applications that do not have backup policy set, the Backup status columns of these records show No policy. If a policy is assigned, the name of the policy is displayed in the Policies column. If more than one backup policy is assigned to the application, the number of policies is displayed.
2. Select the check box from the Name column or click ellipsis menu and select Assign backup policy in the Policies column to assign a backup policy to a single application with no policy assigned.
   Note: If there are no policies assigned before, select the policy provider either Backup & Restore or Backup & Restore (legacy).
   To assign a policy to multiple applications, select the checkboxes in the Name column for the applications to which you want to assign the policy, and click Assign policy. The Assign policies window gets displayed and click Continue.
   The Assign backup policy slide out pane gets displayed.
3. In the Assign backup policy slide out pane, the Backup & Restore is selected by default as a policy provider and you can assign one or more backup policies to the selected application.

   The details of all available backup policies are displayed, such as location, locationtype, frequency, retention, and time.

4. Select Run backup now check box.
5. Click Assign to assign a backup policy.
   In the Applications page, you can observe that the Backup status of the selected application shows as Not backed up for applications that have not got backed up yet. After the backup set up is done, the Backup status of the selected application changes to Completed with a green check mark. Also, the Last backup time shows the backup time.

   Now you can check the status of your job from the Jobs tab.
