To identify computers on which you can install Veeam backup agents, you must configure discovery rules and run discovery in the department infrastructure.

This method allows you to discover computers based on a range of IP addresses.

• Active Directory discovery

This method allows you to discover computers being part of an AD domain.

• Import-based discovery

This method allows you to discover computers by importing a list of IP addresses from a CSV file.
