Changing backup configuration

[withanh]

When I first set up my backup jobs, I individually picked the VMs from the list. I have since learned that it would be better/easier for changing/adding/removing to select a VM folder. I have folders now created and my VMs are in the appropriate folders.

If I change my backup and replication jobs to look at the folders instead of the individual VMs, will this cause a "full" backup/replication to happen again, or will it know that it is seeing the same machines and continue with the incremental differences?

Thanks!

Hi Darhl, it will know that it is seeing the same machines and continue with the incremental differences. No matter how you populate your job (whether individual VMs, or with containers - like VM folder), VMs are memorized in the jobs' configuration using their unique vCenter IDs, which is why from the job's perspective nothing will really change.

Awesome, that's great news!

Thanks Anton!
