   • To select content based on rules, click Add rule, and then do the following:

     1. For Match rule, select all or any.

        • Use all to create a backup rule group where all the defined conditions must be satisfied for filtering the backup content. Here, the AND logic is used.

        • Use any of you want to create a backup rule group where only a few of the defined conditions need to be satisfied for filtering the backup content. Here, the OR logic is used.

     2. From the Rule type list, select Resource group, Storage account, Tag name, or Tag value.

     3. From the Equals list, select an operator from the list.

     6. Click Save.

     7. To review the content discovered by a rule, click Preview.

Clear content

If you modify a table group’s backup content by selecting specific tables or accounts, the table group will no longer automatically discover new tables that aren’t assigned to any table group. From that point on, the table group will only back up the specific tables or accounts you selected.

For default table groups, to ensure that the table group continues to include all necessary tables (including those not covered by other table groups), you can use the Clear content option. This option removes any manually specified content and resets the table group to back up all tables in all storage accounts.

Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.

2. On the Instances tab, click the instance.

3. On the Table groups tab, click the table group.

4. In the Content tile, click Manage.

5. Click Clear content, and then click Save.
