Backup Servers in the Inventory

Backup Servers displayed in the Inventory are based on:

  • The associated Host Type

  • If at any point in time, jobs were collected against the server, even if the host type has been changed.

Cloud-based objects are displayed under Show Objects regardless of installed products. If you do not collect data from these objects, your Inventory hierarchy will display them with a count value of zero. Cloud-based objects include:

  • Amazon EC2 Instances

  • Amazon S3 Buckets

  • Microsoft Azure Storage Accounts

  • Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines

Note:

You can also choose to hide decommissioned Hosts and Backup Servers. This is a selection in the Hierarchy Panel along with Object Types.
