Managing Protection Groups

To manage Veeam agents in Veeam Backup & Replication, begin by creating a Protection Group in the Inventory. Then, define the computers you want to protect within the group settings.

Create a protection group by following the steps described in Creating Protection Group.

Created Protection Group

In Veeam Backup & Replication, a Protection Group is a logical container that organizes protected computers (virtual machines, physical servers, etc.) for easier management. It allows for grouping computers with similar backup requirements or deployment strategies. These groups are then used to simplify backup job creation and maintenance.

Once a protection group is created, Veeam Backup & Replication launches a rescan job session to establish connections with the computers in the group and carry out the required operations on them.
