Working with Protection Groups
Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to create and manage protection groups that are intended to organize your backup scopes.
Note  | 
If you want to use a certificate-based authentication to connect to the protected computers, before creating a protection group, you must install Veeam Plug-in on the computer. For details, see Deploying Plug-in for Certificate-Based Authentication.  | 
You can perform the following operations with protection groups:
- Create a protection group.
 - Edit protection group settings.
 - Rescan a protection group.
 - Assign location to a protection group.
 - Disable a protection group.
 - Remove a protection group.
