Newbie Backup question

Post by SkunkWorks005 »

Two questions I had about backing up and number of restore points. Is it better to have 4 individual jobs one per each virtual machine on a host server or 1 job for the entire host server sat 4 vms to a host server. Second question I have if I group two vms in a job and tell the job to keep 10 restore points will it be 10 restore points per machine in the job or 5 points for each of the 2 machines since I would be backing them up in the same job. Thanks in advanced. We have 20 host servers and over 80 virtual machines so Im trying to organize this the most efficient way.

Hi John, having a single job for 4 VMs is totally ok. The number of restore points you specify means that the job will maintain that number for every added VM. Thanks!
