Default Host Group Hierarchy
During the initial installation, the Data Collector searches for all backup servers and clients, and assigns them to their respective default host groups. The result is a default hierarchy that consists of the following host groups:
• Master Servers. If a client is being backed up by a backup server (or master server), the Data Collector assigns the client to this host group. This group organizes clients under host groups based on the backup server name.
• Clients Not In Policy. If a client does not have a backup policy, the Data Collector assigns the client to this host group. This applicable to Veritas NetBackup only.
• Inactive Policy Clients. After the initial installation, the Data Collector may create this host group for clients that have inactive policies. For more information, see
Identifying Inactive Clients (For Veritas NetBackup).
This applicable to Veritas NetBackup only.
