Hello

You can use the Protected VMs report. In this report there is a table for unprotected virtual machines:

Can we exclude machines from this report based on vmware tags?

Hi Salmeida

Welcome to the forum.

Update:

I apologize. My previous statement was not correct. VM exclusion is an option. Business views are not required:
VM exclusion rule: defines a list of VMs that should be excluded from the report scope. You can enter VM names explicitly or create a wildcard mask by using the asterisk (*) to replace any number of characters. Multiple entries are separated by semicolon. For example, the following string will exclude machines with the _R&D suffix from appearing in the report:*_R&D.

What i want is to exclude machines that i know for sure won't do backups. otherwise it's a messy report.

I will share your request with the Veeam One team. Business view can be used today to filter VM based on tags for the report.

Hello,
Yes, exactly. You can switch to the Business view objects, and if you have already synced them with your VONE, you can select the report based on the tags you want.

The functionality already exists. Some details: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/m ... ml?ver=120

Let us know! Thanks a lot!
