The software generates a common name for the new archives and displays it in the Name field. The
name looks like [Machine Name]_Archive(N), where the [Machine Name] stands for the machine's
name (physical or virtual), and N is a sequence number. If you are not satisfied with the automatically
generated name, construct another name.
When selecting data to back up from multiple machines, the following variables can be used:
 [Machine Name] - substitution for the machine's name. Use of this variable is mandatory.
 [Plan name] - substitution for the centralized backup plan's name. Use this variable for additional
distinguishing of the archives by the backup plan names.
 [Virtual Host Name] - substitution for the name of the virtual machine host. Use this variable in
cases, when two or more virtual machines from different hosts have the same names.
Example: You create the centralized backup plan, named for example, SYSTEMBACKUP, that will be
deployed to three machines (say, FINDEPT1, FINDEPT2, FINDEPT3). In the Name field you specify
[Machine Name]_[Plan name]_Archive(N). Thus, the following three archives will be created in the
location:
 FINDEPT1_SYSTEMBACKUP_Archive(1)
 FINDEPT2_SYSTEMBACKUP_Archive(1)
 FINDEPT3_SYSTEMBACKUP_Archive(1)

15.3.6 What if a machine does not have data meeting the selection
rules
A centralized backup plan can be deployed to a machine that does not have data meeting the
selection rules. No error or warning will be logged during the plan deployment because it is assumed
