Physical infrastructure

Post by sogapex »

Hello,
i am struggling to add and manage my "protected computers" with Veeam B&R

Question 1 = how to move a managed computer from one protection group to another ? (currently there is one in "manually added" and I want to move it to a specific protection group)
Question 2 = how to add a new computer (which is not visible in "unmanaged" or "manually added") to a specific protection group ? I can't find a place to add a new computer (hostname or ip).

When I check the documentation, everything talk about moving from "unmanaged" to a protection group.

thanks

Hello,

Q1: "remove" and "add" is the only way to move
Q2: hmm, don't you have the "add" button in the "computers" section of the properties of a protection group? Can you maybe provide a screenshot? For Active Directory protection groups, it looks a bit different, but in general, the concept is always the same

Many thanks.
I really didn't think we would have to go into "properties" to manage the computers.
Maybe this would be a good thing to add 2 new "topic" in this documentation :
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120

something like "Moving managed Computer to another Protection Group"
and also : "Adding Computer to Protection Group"

In my "head" (and maybe in the head of other people too), it is not intuitive to go into "properties" to be able to add/remove computers to/from a protection group.

regards,
Michel
