Exclude Workstaion

[Murshid]

My NAS is attached as Repository in Veeam Backup & Replication

I have several workstations, servers & VM taking backup to the Repository

I also take the backup of repository to Tape storage using option 'Backup to Tape'.

when it take backup to tape ,it take backup of each machines that are in the repository to the tape

How to exclude one of the machine from taking backup to the tape, i Couldn't find any exclude option in the 'Backup to Tape' setup

Hi Mohamed,

At this time, Backup to Tape job works with the entire backup or all backups in a given repository.

Easiest way to accomplish what you're going for would be to change the Tape job to backup from specific backups, and then move the workstations you want to exclude to their own job and simply don't include that job in the Tape job. (Note: Please check the limitations on Backup Move operation from the before-mentioned link)

You mean, create separate tape jobs for all machines instead of 'repository backup to tape '.

Not quite tape jobs, but the source jobs.

As right now Tape jobs can have either entire Jobs or Repositories added as a source, you would need to move the workstations you do not want in the tape job to their own job (using the Backup Move feature I linked before), then change the tape job to process from Jobs instead of the repository, and add the other jobs _except_ the job processing the workstations.
