Adding a new device group

Device groups are used to group a client's BackupAssist installations in a logical, manageable way. Most device groups set up when you onboard a new client, but you may need to add a device group to an existing client if they expand, or if you need to break up a large device group to make it more manageable.

To view a client's current device groups:

1. Log into the Managed Backup Console.
2. Click Device groups.
3. Select the client from the Select a client drop-down box.

To add a new device group:

1. Log into the Managed Backup Console.

2. Click Device groups.

3. Click the New device group button.

   

4. Use the Client field to select the client's name from the drop-down list.

5. Type the device group's name into the Device group field.

6. Click Submit.

   

7. Click OK on the confirmation dialog.

Note

Each Device group has an Edit button in the Actions column that is used to change a device group’s client or name.
