4. Choose the "Devices" tab. On the right, the Devices already assigned to the Disk Safe are shown. On the left, you can view the list of all Devices that exist on the Host.
{info:title=Tip}
If you need to exclude folders/files located on a Device, you can do it while defining the Policy's properties. See [Excluding Files and Folders].

In the "Devices" tab, there are the following main areas:
* *Devices on Agent*
* *Devices in Disk Safe*

h3. Devices on Agent
This pane provides you with information about Devices that currently exist on the Host. To view the list of Devices, click the "Get Devices from Agent" button.
h4. Columns:
* *Mount Point -* In Unix-like systems, a *mount point* is the location in the operating system's directory structure where a mounted file system appears. For example, many modern Linux distributions automatically mount the CD drive as {color:blue}/media/cdrom{color}, so the contents of the CD drive will appear in the {color:blue}/media/cdrom{color} directory. The equivalent to mounting in Microsoft Windows is known as *mapping a drive*. Since Windows 2000, NTFS devices can also be mounted to empty NTFS folders.
* *Capacity* \- How many resources are available on the Device (gigabytes, megabytes, or kilobytes; blocks).
* *Content Type -* The file system created on the Device. Example: NTFS.
* *Actions* \- Provides access to actions available for the selected Device:
** *Add* \- See [Adding Devices].

h3. Devices In Disk Safe
This pane provides you with information about Devices that are currently assigned to the Disk Safe.
* *State* \- Graphically indicates the Device status. If the Device is enabled (green icon), then it is available for replication. If the assigned Device is disabled (red icon), then it will not be backed up (replicated.) See [Disabling Devices].
* *Mount Point -* In Unix-like systems, a mount point is the location in the operating system's directory structure where a mounted file system appears.

* *Content Id* \- Example: 0389746389719DC.
* *Content Type* \- The file system created on the Device. Example: NTFS.
* *Device Path* \- Hardware address of the Device. Example: !device-path.png!
* *Size* \- The measuring characteristic of Device to show how large it is, in other words, what volume is available on the Device. Example: 8.0 GB.
h4. Disk Info
* *Number of Sectors -* The number of sectors on disk. Example: 20964825
* *Sector Size* *\-* The size of the disk sector. Example: 512 bytes.
* *Serial Number* \- The serial number of the disk. Example: VMware Virtual disk SCSI Disk Device.
h4. Replication Details
