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 certificate-based authentication to connect to the protected computers, install Veeam Deployment Kit on the computers before you create a protection group. For details, see Deploying Plug-In Using Veeam Deployment Kit.

You can perform the following operations with protection groups:

Create a protection group.
Deploy Veeam Plug-In using the deployment kit.
Edit protection group settings.
Rescan a protection group.
Assign location to a protection group.
Disable a protection group.
Remove a protection group.
