OR - items are added to the job if any rule is matched.AND - VMs are added to the backup job if all rules are matched.If multiple rules are added to the backup job, the AND/ OR logical conditions can be used to define the policy: You can create up to 50 policy rules per job and several criteria can be chosen to define the requested policy.

VMs matching defined criteria are automatically included in the backup job avoiding the boring and time-consuming process of editing backup jobs to add or remove a VM.
Using this capability, VMs can be protected by defining one or more policy rules in the backup job. Policy-Based Data Protection is a feature introduced in version 8.1 of Nakivo Backup & Replication that allows to automate VM backup and replication.
