Add instance groups to a backup policy

This topic describes how to add instance groups to a SQL Server Intelligent Policy.

Note:

Instance groups are the legacy method to organize instances in a group and back up that group. Consider using intelligent groups to discover and back up instances.

See Add intelligent groups to a policy.

To add instance groups to a SQL Server Intelligent policy

  1. In the policy, select the Instances and databases tab.
  2. Select Protect instance groups.
  3. Select the Add button.

    Any instance groups that you registered in the NetBackup Administration Console are displayed.

  4. Select the instance groups that you want to add and select the Select button.

    The list of instance groups that is displayed here controls the instances you can browse and select from when you create the backup selections list.

    To see a list of all the instances in the group, select the instance group and select the Preview instances button.
