1. In the groups tree, click the group to move the selected group to. You can move any type of
custom group (either static, or dynamic) to another custom group of any type, or to the root
folder.
The root folder of the machines tree contains groups of the first level. Groups that include other
groups are called parent groups. Groups that are in parent groups are called child groups. All the
centralized backup plans created for the parent group will be deployed to the machines of its
child groups as well.

Editing custom groups
Editing a custom group is performed in the same way as creating (p. 372) one.
Changing the type of group will result in its conversion. Any custom group can be converted to a
dynamic group if it was static, and vice versa.
 When converting a static group to dynamic, provide grouping criteria. All the members that exist
in the static group that do not match the provided criteria will be removed from the dynamic
group.
 When converting a dynamic group to static, two options are available – either to leave the
current content of the group or to empty the group.
