Adding Protection Group to Veeam Agent Backup Job

You can add a specific protected computer to a Veeam Agent backup job that you have configured in Veeam Backup & Replication. This may be useful if you want to create an image-level backup of the protected computer with Veeam Agent for Linux in addition to the application-level backup of MongoDB data. To learn more about Veeam Agent backup jobs, see the Adding Computer to Backup Job section in the Veeam Agent Management Guide.

You can add the whole protection group to the Veeam Agent backup job:

Open the Inventory view.
In the inventory pane, in the Physical Infrastructure node, select a protection group you want to add to a Veeam Agent backup job and do one of the following:

In the inventory pane, select the protection group that you want to add to the job and click Add to Backup > Linux > name of the job on the ribbon.
In the working area, right-click the computer that you want to add to the job and select Add to backup job > Linux > name of the job.

Note

Consider the following:

You can add a protection group to a Veeam Agent backup job configured for computers of the same platform. For example, you can add a protection group for MongoDB only to a Veeam Agent backup job for Linux computers.
You can also add a specific protection group to a new backup job. To learn more, see the Working with Veeam Agent Backup Jobs and Policies section in Veeam Agent Management Guide.
