Grouping the registered machines

As soon as a machine is registered on the management server, the machine appears in the All machines built-in group. By applying a backup policy to this group, you protect all the registered machines. The thing is that a single policy may not be satisfactory because of the different roles of the machines. The backed up data is specific for each department; some data has to be backed up frequently, other – twice a year; so you may want to create various policies applicable to different sets of machines. In this case consider creating custom groups.
