Creating a backup policy rather than backup plans
Set up a centralized backup policy and apply it to the
All machines
group. This way you will deploy
backup plans on each machine with a single action. Select
Actions > Create backup policy
from the
top menu and then refer to the context help.
Grouping the machines registered on the management server
Group the registered machines by appropriate parameters, create several policies and apply each
policy to the appropriate group of machines. For more information please refer to "Grouping the
registered machines (p. 61)".
The comprehensive example of advanced centralized management is provided in the "Setting up
centralized data protection in a heterogeneous network (p. 58)" section.

Using the management console
As soon as the console connects to a managed machine (p. 406) or to a management server (p. 407),
the respective items appear across the console's workspace (in the menu, in the main area with the
Welcome
screen, the
Navigation
pane, the
Actions and tools
pane) enabling you to perform agent-
specific or server-specific operations.
