Plan your backup architecture including repositories, SOBR, and any cloud or object storage targets you intend to use.

• Step 4 — Configure backup repositories and SOBR: Create backup repositories (local, shared, or object storage), then configure a Scale-out Backup Repository to optimize performance and retention. Set up transport modes, deduplication, and retention policies appropriate for your data.
• Step 5 — Create backup and replication jobs: Add virtual machines, physical servers, or workstations to backup jobs. Configure application-aware backups, guest processing options, and scheduling. If needed, set up replication for disaster recovery and enable automated recovery verification with SureBackup/SureReplica.
• Step 6 — Enable advanced features and monitoring: Turn on SureBackup test runs, SureReplica verification, and any automated remediation workflows. Leverage dashboards and alerts to monitor job status, storage utilization, and recovery readiness across the environment.
