Query builder for intelligent groups reference

You can use the Query builder to create rules to automatically add SQL Server instances to an intelligent group.

OData keywords are indicated for when you build queries for intelligent groups with the NetBackup APIs. The Preview feature displays the query string that contains OData keywords and operators. For example, the query to search for the host names that end with "domain.com" is: endswith(tolower(clientName), tolower('domain.com')).

Table: Query builder options for intelligent groups describes the fields and options for creating intelligent groups with the Query builder.
