feature request:extract VM from VBK, insert into another VBK

Post by ggillette »

Basic description of feature request: ability to open a standalone VBK (one that is NOT part of an existing backup job), and extract one or more VM's and insert them directly into a new VBK.

I know that v7 can do an operation similar to this with a Backup Copy Job run against an existing backup job, but it would be nice to have a standalone tool that can do this with old VBK's that are not part of an existing backup job.

Hi Greg,

Can you give us a bit more information on how often do you want to use the feature and what is the general use case for that, so we could have a better understanding of what is required?

Thanks!

Hi, Greg.

I assume the problem with backup copy job is that it doesn’t allow to use “imported” data as a source for it, right? If so, you can, probably, create a “dummy” backup job, map it to the previous backup data (old .vbk) and use it later as a source for a backup copy job.

Thanks.
