Moving servers to the Retired Servers server group
You can retire servers from Backup Exec by moving them to the Retired Servers server group. The Retired Servers server group is intended for any servers that you no longer actively monitor with Backup Exec. You can still view any information about the retired servers on the Backup and Restore tab by clicking on the Retired Servers server group. However, the retired servers no longer appear in the All Servers server group with the servers that you regularly back up and monitor. It may be useful to retire servers if you use Backup Exec to monitor a large number of servers.
You cannot create new backup jobs for any servers that are in the Retired Servers server group. However, any scheduled backup jobs still run on retired servers. You can restore data from retired servers.
If you retire a server and then you decide that you want to move it back to the All Servers server group, you can click on it and drag it from the Retired Servers server group to the All Servers server group.
