Managing SQL Server Groups

SQL Backup Manager displays the list of registered SQL Server instances in the Registered SQL Servers pane. You can create your own hierarchy of groups to organize the registered instances.

When you add a SQL Server instance, you can allocate the instances to an existing group.

Creating SQL Server groups

To create a new group or subgroup:

1. On the File menu, click New Group.
   
2. In the Group name box, type the name for the new group.
   
3. Select the Location in which you want to create the group.
   
4. Choose to create a top-level group, or a group within a group.
   To create a lower-level group, click Sub-group of, and then select the group in which you want to create the new sub-group.
   
5. Click Add Group.

Deleting SQL Server groups

To delete a group or sub-group, do one of the following:

1. Right-click the name of the group in the Registered SQL Servers pane, click Delete, and then click Delete on the confirmation dialog box.
2. Click the name of the group in the Registered SQL Servers pane, in the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Delete on the confirmation dialog box.
   
   Note that if you delete a group that contains registered SQL Server instances, all instances in the group are removed.
