Change the backup proxy pool for a backup proxy
You can move a proxy from one pool to another pool. You might want to move the backup proxy to a different pool based on the following reasons:
You want to scale up and thus move the backup proxy to a different backup proxy pool.
You want to delete the backup proxy pool.
Considerations
You can only change the pool for a proxy if all the proxies in the pool are on the latest version (7.0.2).
You cannot change the backup proxy pool if the proxy in the existing pool is mapped to a device. The count can never be zero. To resolve it, unmap it from the NAS device.
If you want to move multiple proxies to a different pool, they should all belong to the same pool.
Procedure
Log in to the Management Console.
From the top menu bar, select your organization if organizations are enabled.
Click Protect > NAS.
In the left pane, click All Backup Proxy Pools.
Click on the backup proxy pool.
Select the backup proxy(s) under the Backup Proxies section in the Pool Details tab. For more options, click the three dots, and then click Change Backup Proxy Pool.
Select the desired backup proxy pool from the list and click Save.
You can also create a new backup proxy pool. See, Create a new backup proxy pool.
A confirmation dialog box appears.
Click OK to change the backup proxy pool.

You can view the details of backup proxies, devices, backup sets, and time zones in the Details section of the Pool Details tab.
Click the # Mapped Devices to view the list of mapped devices to which the proxy pool is connected and the number of backup sets to which it is mapped for this pool.
You can also check these details by clicking the Devices tab.
