protectionpolicy create

--schedule SCHEDULE

Defines the schedule for snapshots. If --clone-type is set to CLOUD_REPLICATION, the schedule applies also to replication to S3.

The schedule includes a frequency in seconds, minutes, hours or days, a start date and time, and a retention time limit for local snapshots.

Specify SCHEDULE in the following format:

every <number><time units> start at YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS keep-local <number><time units> 

<time units> can be any of the following:

keep-local sets the amount of time to retain each local snapshot on the cluster. S3 backups do not expire and do not have a retention period.

If --clone-type is set to CLOUD_REPLICATION, then the minimum supported frequency is 6 hours, which can be written as 6h.

For example: --schedule every 90m start at 2025-07-27 20:10:35 keep-local 10h

--prefix PREFIX

Specifies the prefix to use in the names of snapshots.

--clone-type CLOUD_REPLICATION|LOCAL

The type(s) of replication to perform:

--name POLICY_NAME

Specifies a name for the protection policy.

--target-object-id ID

If --clone-type is set to CLOUD_REPLICATION, include this option to specify the S3 replication peer.

Specify ID as an integer.

To retrieve target IDs, use replicationtarget list.

To create a target, use replicationtarget create.
