   A hospital network recently deployed a new electronic health record (EHR) system on a separate storage array.

   • AManually create a new backup job and point it to the EHR server's hostname, bypassing the discovery process.
   • BRun a discovery scan to identify the new storage array and its data assets, then add the EHR system to the backup policy.
