Application Aware guest processing only 1 VM is possible?

Post by phoenix2875 »

Hi, maybe asking something stupid, but..
I've to backup a 22 VM's structure in witch there's an exchange server. Enabled Virtual Machine Guest Processing, but it takes all the 22 Vm's in the process.
I don't want they've all to be processed. Is that the only way selecting all and in general tab pick "no guest processing" option? Asking because whed i do so there's a "log copy only" voice and "no shadowcopy".
That's the right choice?
thank you.

Hi Alessandro and welcome to the community!
Yes, the way to disable application-aware processing is to set it in corresponding VMs' Processing Settings.
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend you to disable Application Aware processing as you'll only get crash-consistent backups; open files and databases could get corrupted.
If you don't want to process for example SQL Logs than just use the copy only option.
