Rebuilds a restore scope for user accounts added to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager periodically rescans the virtual infrastructure to get the latest data about the virtual infrastructure hierarchy and rebuild the restore scope for user accounts. The rescan procedure is performed automatically once a day. You can start the rebuild scope operation manually when you need to perform rescan. For example, you can perform this operation in case new VMs have been created and you want to immediately include them to the restore scope for some users.
