How can order vm to get backup while add with tag in backup job

Post by george.jame »

Hi

I have created a backup job and add a tag to my backup job that include 20vms , now want to know is that possible create an order between 20 vms to get backup ?
while we add vms to backuo job can do up/down for start backup now how can do this order while I add tag instead vm?

Hello, add them to the job explicitly (in addition to via tag) and set the priority between them. Make sure the tag entry is last in the list. VMs won't be processed twice if they are included in the job twice: both explicitly, and via a tag container. Thanks!

For example tagA include 20vms (VMa...... VMX) but I want first start backup from vmX. now add tageA and also vmX in one backup job and set vmX in the top list
1- Is that correct ?
2- Does it get backup once from vmX while added twice ?

1. Correct.
2. Yes, actually I've already answered this question preemptively in my previous reply, since I knew you were likely to ask this next ;)
