Step 3. Specify Databases

At the Databases step of the wizard, select protection groups, computers, database systems or individual databases whose data you want to back up.

You can add to the backup scope one or more objects added to inventory in the Veeam Backup & Replication console.

Application policies with protection groups are dynamic in their nature. If Veeam Backup & Replication discovers a new computer in a protection group after the policy is created, Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically update the policy settings to include the added computer.

Adding Objects from Inventory

To add objects to the application backup policy:

1. Click Add.
2. In the Select Objects window, select one or more objects in the list and click OK. You can select any of the following objects:

• SAP system
• SAP database

You can press and hold [Ctrl] to select multiple objects at once.

To quickly find the necessary object, use the search field at the bottom of the Select Objects window.

1. Enter the object name or a part of it in the search field.
2. Click the Start search button on the right or press [Enter].
