Use the backup\nplans to create policy templates and resource profiles that each backup/recovery appliance\nuses to manage data. A backup plans violation occurs when data is not\nbeing backed up according to the boundaries you have set in a policy.\n\nThe **Backup Plans** tab provides two easy-to-use wizards to create a\ndata-handling policies that will be applied to your applications:\n\n- **Templates.** Use the **Templates** wizard to control the frequency and retention of data. It also lets you perform data tiering and replication. For more information, see the [Backup template](#temp) section.\n- **Profiles.** Use the **Profiles** wizard to control the physical location and storage pools where data is stored. For more information, see the [Resource profiles](#profile) section.\n\nRefer to the [Backup plans best practices](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/concepts/backup-plan-policy-best-practices) section to help you avoid some of\nthe more common mistakes users make when creating and modifying policy templates\nand their associated policies.\n\nBackup job retries\n------------------\n\nWhen a scheduled job fails, the scheduler automatically retries the job up\nto three more times. The first time a job fails, the status of the first\nattempt will be marked as Retried and the scheduler will wait 4 minutes before\nqueuing the job again. If it fails a second time, the next retry is\nqueued after 16 minutes. If it fails a third time, a final retry is\nqueued after a holdoff period of 64 minutes. After 3 failed retry attempts\n(a total of four attempts), the final retry job status changes from Retried to Failed\nand no further jobs are attempted for that application in that schedule period.\n\nThe scheduler treats a job retry like any other available job. If there\nare more jobs queued than slots to accommodate them, then the queued retry job\nwill need to wait for a slot. If the policy window closes before a retry\njob can start, then any queued retry jobs won't run and no further retries\nwill be attempted.\n\nJob retries are reported in **Monitor** \\\u003e **Jobs** . To identify job\nretries all four jobs will have the same **Job** number in the following format\nin this order:\n\n- Job_xxxxx (Status: Retried)\n- Job_xxxxxa (Status: Retried; queued after a 4 minute holdoff)\n- Job_xxxxxb (Status: Retried; queued after a 16 minute holdoff)\n- Job_xxxxxc (Status: Failed; queued after a 64 minute holdoff)\n\nThe next time a backup job for this application is attempted is\naccording to the policy's schedule. So, if the schedule calls for one snapshot\nper day in a window starting at 01:00, the next attempt will be the\nfollowing day at 01:00.\n\nBackup template\n---------------\n\nA backup template is a collection of policies defined in the backup plans. Each\npolicy defines how data is backed up, how often it is backed up, and how long it\nis retained. Specifically, the policies define the following:\n\n- The types of data backup operation (e.g., snapshot, replication)\n- The frequency of the application data backup operation\n- How long to retain the application data backups\n- The advanced settings related to the application data backup operation\n- Whether to truncate logs. Updates to databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle are accompanied by creation of logs and metadata. Logs explain the modifications made to the databases.\n- Where the backup data is retained (local backup/recovery appliance, remote backup/recovery appliance or OnVault storage location)\n\nBy mixing and matching policies within a template you can create a\nsingle template that defines the shortterm and longterm retention of data,\nas well as where the data will be retained and how long the replicated data\nwill be retained.\n\nResource profiles\n-----------------\n\nA resource profile specifies the storage media for protected application and VM\ndata. The policy and the resource profile that make up the backup plan dictate\nthe type of application data backup to perform and where to store the\napplication data backups (which pool of disks can be used). Resource profiles define\nwhich snapshot pool (if needed) is used or to which remote appliance data is\nreplicated.\n\nIn addition to policy templates and policies, you also create resource profiles\nin the backup plans. Resource profiles define where to store data. Data can be\nstored in the following ways:\n\n- **Local.** The backup/recovery appliance that the resource profile is created for.\n- **Remote.** The backup/recovery appliance used for remote replication.\n This remote appliance must be an appliance that is already paired to the\n selected local appliance.\n\n | **Note:** You can configure the Remote field only when one or more remote appliances are configured on the selected local appliance.\n- **OnVault.** The storage defined by an OnVault storage pool.\n OnVault pools can be storage that you control or indelible, immutable,\n Google Cloud managed [backup vaults](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/concepts/backup-vault).\n\n | **Note:** You can use the OnVault Pool option only if the backup/recovery appliance has defined OnVault storage pools.\n\nResource profiles are applied to applications in the **App Manager** and the\nresource profiles work in tandem with policy templates:\n\n- A policy template that does not include a replication policy must be applied to an application along with a resource profile that only stores data locally.\n- A policy template that includes a replication policy must be applied to an application along with a resource profile that stores data either on another appliance or to storage defined by OnVault storage pool.\n\nYou define a resource profile for any backup/recovery appliance that has been\nadded to the management console.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- Create a [backup template](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/create-plan/create-template)\n- Create a [backup policy](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/concepts/policy-overview)\n- Create a [resource profile](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/concepts/resource-profiles)\n- Configure [advanced policy settings](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/create-plan/policy-settings) of an application backed up by the policy\n- [Apply a backup plan to an application](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/create-plan/apply-backup-temp-overview)"]]
