Assume, the selection rule states that the policy has to back up volumes D: and F:. The policy is
applied to both Linux and Windows machines. Once the first backup is started, the policy gets the
Error status on the Linux machines and on the Windows machines that do not have such volumes.
The policy gets the Warning status on Windows machines that have either a D: or F: volume, unless
an event that will result in an error occurs.
The policy that has to back up the [System] and the /dev/sda1 volumes, will get the Warning status
on the Windows machines (since /dev/sda is not found) and on the Linux machines that have the
/dev/sda1 volume (since the [System] volume is not found). The policy will get the Error status on
Linux machines that do not have a SCSI device.
The following table provides details.

In addition to the deployment state and status as related to a specific machine, the backup policy has

status of the policy.
2.14.5.3. Policy deployment state on a group
To see this parameter, select Machines in the tree, then select the group, and then select the Backup
policies tab on the Information pane.
This state is defined as a combination of deployment states of the policy on the machines included in
the group and its child groups.
For example, you applied the policy to the group consisting of machines A and B. While the
deployment takes place on both machines, the policy's state on the group will be "Deploying". If the
deployment completes on one of the machines while it continues on the other, the state will be
