This wizard is displayed when the user includes or excludes Hyper-V resources in a policy.
CAUTION:
Protector tracks
Hyper-V VMs via their unique ID. If the id of an explicitly selected VM is changed (e.g. by
deleting and restoring the VM) it will not be included in the backup and an error will be
logged.
