  2. Select an existing user group in the Details pane. (The pane on the left side of the NetBackup Administration Console.)
  3. Select Actions > Copy to New User Group. A dialog that is based on the selected user group displays, opened to the General tab.
  4. Type the name of the new group in the Name field, then click the Users tab.
