Adds a backup protection group and configures the storage backup configuration settings.
Syntax
[failover-peer] storage backup group add <group-id> server-id <server-id> policy-id <policy-id> {membership all [exclude <members>] | membership selected members <members>} [max-history <max-history-number>] [quiesce-vm-list <quiesce-vm-list>]
Parameters
failover-peer
Performs the command on the failover peer of the current appliance. If the failover peer is unavailable, the changed configuration is automatically applied when the appliance returns to service.
You can run failover-peer commands only on a Core appliance in ActiveSolo failover state.
<group-id>
Protection group identifier.
server-id <server-id>
Specifies the Edge server identifier. Identifiers are case sensitive.

Specifies the backup policy identifier.
membership all
Specifies all members in the backup protection group.
exclude <members>
Excludes the specified members.
membership selected members <members>
Specifies selected members in a backup protection group.
max-history <max-history-number>
Specifies the maximum history of protection operations maintained for the protection group. The default is 5.
quiesce-vm-list <quiesce-vm-list>
Specifies the list of VMs that will be quiesced into a state suitable for backups. This option is disabled by default.
Usage
The Core uses the protection group to map the servers, VMs, and LUNs that are being protected. Each protection group contains the information associated with the server being protected, backup proxy host, and backup protection policy.
The typical workflow for setting up backup protection follows:
1. Use the storage server add command to add an Edge server.
2. Use the storage backup proxy add command to add the backup proxy.
3. Use the storage backup policy add command to configure the backup protection policy.
4. Use the storage backup group add command to add the backup protection group.
Example
Core_01 (config) # storage backup group add group1 server-id sf-shxxx-server policy-id pol_1 membership all max-history 4
