Description
Optional.
Time Zones
Select a Time Zone to associate with the NetBackup Master. Whenever the Time Zone is modified, the system marks the Data Collector as dirty so that the updates will be pushed to the Data Collector server. If the time zone is not explicitly configured for a NetBackup Master, IT Analytics defaults to the time zone of the Data Collector server.
Note that in IT Analytics reports, the date and time displayed for a backup transaction represents the date and time when the event actually happened.
Host Group Membership
Host group membership is mandatory when creating a host/backup server. A host/server can belong to multiple groups.

2. Select the NetBackup Master.
3. Click Edit. See To add a NetBackup Master Server for field information.
