A filter package is used to group one or more filters (usually more than one) into one logical entity that can then be assigned to one or more computers or groups. Since we will be creating multiple filters to monitor our NTBackup jobs, it makes sense to group them together, so we will create a new filter package for that purpose.
Creating the Package
In the management console, right-click the Filter Packages container and select Add Package. When prompted for the name, specify a name like "Backup" or similar that describes the function of the filters well.
Assigning the Package
In order for a package to work correctly, it needs to be assigned to at least one computer. As such, right-click the package you just created and select Assign. In the resulting dialog, select the computer and/or groups where you will be backing up data. If you only have EventSentry installed on one host, then you can also make the package global (right-click package and select "Global").
