Step 3. Define Inventory Scope

At the Inventory Scope step of the wizard, specify which workloads are available to this role:

  • Entire inventory — grants access to all workloads managed by Veeam Backup & Replication.
  • The following workloads only — restricts access to selected workloads. Click Add to choose specific VMs, file shares, or other objects from the inventory.

Click Add to choose workloads from the following categories:

  • Virtualization — VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, or Proxmox VE virtual machines.
  • Physical infrastructure — physical servers and workstations.
  • File shares — NFS and SMB file shares.
  • Object storage — object storage repositories.
  • Specific jobs — individual backup or backup copy jobs.

Note

A job you add to this scope is not shown in the Jobs node and cannot be run or edited directly. It is available only as a source in the Backup Copy job wizard. If you do not restrict jobs for a role, all jobs are available as backup copy sources.
