Associating ECSs with a Backup Policy

Prerequisites

   Figure 1 Associating servers
   

4. In the server list, select the ECSs you want to associate. After ECSs are selected, they are added to the list of selected servers.
   

   • A maximum of 64 ECSs can be associated with a backup policy.
   • If a selected ECS has been associated with another backup policy, it will be disassociated from the original backup policy automatically and then associated with the new backup policy.
   • If EVS disks on an ECS have been associated with a VBS backup policy, disassociate them from the VBS backup policy. Otherwise, two backups are generated for each of the EVS disks.
   • An ECS with shared EVS disks cannot be associated with a backup policy.
   • You can only select ECSs that are in the Running or Stopped state.

5. Click OK.
