This new feature introduced in version 8.1 allows to create a policy with specific criteria and all the VMs that match the specified criteria are automatically protected. Policy-based data protection can be applied to backup, replication, and copy jobs.

This capability add flexibility and save time since you no longer need to edit the backup job each time to add a new VM. This can be done very quickly using creation of a job (backup, replication, backup copy) .You can easily implement a policy-based configuration that automatically defines the VMs that will be protected as show below , this can be done by selecting  option Create a new job.  Create > <job type>

And  you have number of  parameters to define the rules listed in the policy and you can set the rule by selecting option from first drop down box of the rule on Search by line: . And the next drop down is the logic operators that can run based on the Search by selection as shown below also you will option to create multiple rules by using Add another rule.

Another option available on the policy-based data protection criteria is tag based VM identification . You can set tag on virtual mahine from vSphere and  you can use this tag name to identify the vm in policy based protection .
