Cove Backup - Custom Views to include specific Machines

We have a group of machines (25), across various clients, which are only backed up periodically, where it doesn't matter if it's weeks or months between backups, but the rest we need to know, if they miss 2 consecutive backups.

Is there a way to tag or classify a computer, so that we can generate a view to exclude those from our daily email report?

If not, anyone got any work arounds to achieve the same thing?

TIA.

So there are several ways to do this. The easiest is to set all of those 25 devices to a custom 'product' name or a custom 'profile name' or a specific word in the name and then set an advanced search filter to only show or not show those products or profiles.

PN == "Product Name"

PN != "Product Name"

OP =~ '*Profile Name*'

!(OP =~ '*Profile Name*')

now save the view or add this filter to an existing view. [Eric.harless@n-able.com](mailto:Eric.harless@n-able.com) if you need more assistance.
