Manually change processing order

[hyvokar]

Hi!


I've seleceted my datacenter as a backup source (i want to back everything with a single job).

How can I change the processing order, so that the biggest VMs would be processed first and proxies last?

Now proxies are processed first and while they are being backed up, a number of other VMs fail. If I retry the job, everything goes fine (since the proxies have already been processed).


The errors I get are:
Getting VM info from vSphere
Error: File does not exist or locked. VMFS path: [[DataStore02] vm-001.domain.local/vm-001.domain.local.vmx]. Please, try to download specified file using connection to the ESX server where the VM registered. Failed to create NFC download stream. NFC path: [nfc://conn:IP-ADDRESS,nfchost:host-241,stg:datastore-139@vm-001.domain.local/fi-esp-vm-001.domain.local.vmx].

E: not datacenter, but my Cluster

You cannot set priority in case the entire VI object is selected. Try to put proxy VMs into exclusions and back them up separately.

I'll just turn this topic then to feature request
