Steps to configure automatic selection	Description and notes
Configure a Hyper-V policy	Use the policy Attributes tab. See Create a Hyper-V policy.
Set rules for virtual machine selection in the policy Query builder	On the policy Clients tab, click Select automatically through Hyper-V Intelligent Policy query. Choose a host for virtual machine selection (the default is the Hyper-V server). To add the rules, use the Query builder drop-down fields. See Create a Hyper-V policy for automatic virtual machine selection. See Options for selecting Hyper-V virtual machines.
Test the rules	Click Test Query in the Query builder on the Clients tab. Virtual machines are labeled as included or excluded, based on the rules. Note: The list of virtual machines is not saved in the Clients tab. Note: The query rules are also displayed in the Backup selections tab. The backup selections are pre-set to All_LOCAL_DRIVES (not displayed).
Run a backup	When the policy runs, NetBackup consults the rules in the Query builder, creates a list of virtual machines, and backs them up.
Check the backup	To see which virtual machines were backed up, use the Activity Monitor.
