Step 3. Specifying CSV File

At this step of the wizard, specify a file that defines a list of computers that you want to add to the protection group. You must specify a list of computers in a file of the CSV or TXT format. The file must be created beforehand. To learn more, see Preparing CSV File.

To specify a CSV file:

1. In the Path to file field, click Browse and specify a path to a CSV file that contains a list of IP addresses or domain names of computers that you want to add to the protection group. The CSV file can reside in a folder on the local drive of the Veeam backup server or in a network shared folder accessible from the backup server.
2. In the Computers field, review the list of IP addresses or domain names imported from the CSV file.

Preparing CSV File

To define a dynamic protection scope based on a list of computers, you must create a CSV file with a list of IP addresses or domain names to scan during discovery. Veeam Backup & Replication supports IP addresses of IPv4 and IPv6 formats.

Delimit IP addresses or domain names in the list with commas (',') or semicolons (';'). For example:

Alternatively, you can delimit IP addresses or domain names in the list with the newline character:
