Explanation

Backup is the foundation of any protection policy and can only be defined once because it represents the single primary data capture operation - you cannot have two independent backup stages within the same policy. All other stages depend on this one backup stage as their source.

Replicate (D) can be added multiple times, allowing data to be sent to several different replication targets (e.g., a DR site and a remote office) within the same policy. Cloud Tier (B) can similarly be added more than once to tier data to multiple cloud targets or with different retention settings. Recover (A) is not a configurable stage you add to a protection policy at all - recovery is an operation performed separately, not a policy stage.

Memory tip: Think of Backup = the original, and you can only have one original. Everything else (replicate, cloud tier) are copies of copies, so multiples are allowed.
