Remove protection from MySQL instances

You can unsubscribe MySQL instances from a protection plan. When the asset is unsubscribed, backups are no longer performed.

Note:

When you unsubscribe an asset from a protection plan, there is a possibility that the asset displays Classic policy in the Protected By column on the web UI. This situation can happen when an asset is subscribed to a protection plan and a backup runs for that asset. Such assets get unsubscribed from the protection plan. The web UI then displays Classic policy, that may or may not have an active policy protecting the asset.

To remove protection from a MySQL instance

  1. On the left, click MySQL.
  2. On the Instances tab, select the instance.
  3. Click the instance name.
  4. Click Remove protection > Yes.

    Under MySQL, the asset is now listed as Not protected.
