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.

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