Creating a custom static or dynamic group

To create a group

b. Dynamic - to create a group that will contain machines added automatically according to the
specified criteria.
Click the Add criteria and select the criterion pattern.

In the Policy selection window, specify the backup policy you need to apply to
the selected group. If there are child groups in the selected group, the backup
policy will be applied to them as well.

In the Group details (p. 291) window, examine information on the selected
group.

Built-in groups cannot be renamed.
Click Edit.
In the Edit group (p. 290) window, change the required parameters of the
group.
Click Move to.
In the Move to group (p. 290) window, specify a group that will be a new
parent of the selected group.
Click Delete.
Deletion of a parent group will delete its child groups as well. Backup policies
applied to the parent group and inherited by its child groups will be revoked
from all members of the deleted groups. The the policies that are directly
applied to the members will remain.
Click Refresh.
The management console will update the list of groups from the management
server with the most recent information. Though the list of groups is refreshed
automatically based on events, the data may not be retrieved immediately
from the management server due to some latency. Manual Refresh guarantees
that the most recent data is displayed.
