Feature Request: Schedule Quick Backups

Post by thynes »

We use the Veeam Quick backup feature as a replacement for Snapshots or Checkpoints and we take a quick backup before patching a bunch of servers.
Would it be possible to schedule quick backups for individual VMs to allow this work to take place without the engineer need to manually start it?

You can use as a workaround the windows task scheduler with this powershell command:

Code: Select all

 Start-VBRQuickBackup

This is precisely the use case that our vSphere Web Client plug-in has been designed for :D
