Aranda Datasafe uses Teams to organize its devices into groups.
Each team has one:
- Policy: Defines when devices on your computer will be backed up, as well as what migration and data loss prevention settings the devices will use.
- Repository: Defines where backup data for your team’s devices will be stored.
When you create a team, you choose a policy and a repository. You can also edit a Team to rename it or associate it with a different Policy or repository.
Create a team
You can create a new team and then assign it a policy and repository. When your computer is set up, you can assign it to your devices.
You should create a new team if:
- There are no teams in Aranda Datasafe
- Existing computers don’t meet your requirements, for example, they don’t use data theft prevention, but you need it for your devices.
- Existing teams back up to a repository that isn’t suitable for their devices.
To create a team:
1. There are three ways to create a team: from the Inventory page, the Protection page, or from the Teams section on the Settings page. Then you can:
Click on Inventory.
