BWeb Groups
BWeb enables you to organize your Bacula clients into administrative groups. For example, you could define groups of geographic Volume locations, by business divisions, by the server owners, by application type, etc.
Thus it is simpler to supervise the proper execution of your Job. BWeb has several screens particularly adapted to sites with a very large number of File daemons (see following screenshots). Using Jobs \(\rightarrow\) Job Overview (see figure 20 and figure 21), it is easy to view backup problems organized on a time scale. When was the last time the backup on this server failed, what are the variables referenced in this incident, “*”

Groups are also useful in statistical calculations, for example you can create a dashboard or allocate infrastructure costs by group and by resources used.
It is also possible to associate groups with user profiles to spread BWeb responsibilities within your organization (Cf. Management of Profiles and Users)
Adding, modification, and deletion of groups is done with the Clients screen \(\rightarrow\) Groups (see figures 22 and 23). The View others button permits listing the clients that are not in any group.
