NetBackup™ Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide

Managing intelligent groups for cloud assets

You can create and protect a dynamic group of assets by defining the intelligent cloud asset groups based on a set of filters called queries. NetBackup selects the cloud virtual machines, applications, and PaaS assets based on the queries, and adds them to the group. An intelligent group automatically reflects changes in the asset environment and eliminates the need to manually revise the list of assets in the group when the assets are added or removed from the environment.

Then when you apply a protection plan to an intelligent cloud asset group, all the assets satisfying the query conditions will automatically be protected if the asset environment changes in the future.
