Exclude VM from Application Aware processing

[oscarm]

Hi All,

I have setup backup for Microsoft Azure. I have selected the Application Aware Processing. Where can you exclude a VM from Application Aware Processing, or is this not possible?

Hi,

Can you clarify how you included the virtual machines? Are you using tags or specific virtual machines as a source?

Hi NIels,

No, in the backup policy "all resources" are choosen with one excluded vm.

Hi Oscar,

If you exclude the VM from the policy, then nothing should happen with it (no snapshot/backup/application aware processing).

I hope this resolves your question.

Hi Niels,

That's not what I want. If you use Vbr, you can put vms in a job and then select application aware. Then you can exclude machines from application aware. So if I want a machine not being Application aware backed up the only thing I can do is put the machine on the exclusion list on the all resources group, and then create a new policy for a machine that I do not want to have application aware processing on?

So it is an on/off switch for all targets in a policy?

Hi Oscar,

Yes it is indeed on/off for all targets. If you do not want that machine to use it, then a second policy is the workaround.

We'll see what we can do to enhance this in the future (similar to VBR style).

Thank you.

Hi Niels,

thanks for clearing this.
