When using SureBackup can I use multiple VMs per backup job?

Post by cparker4486 »

Hello,

(I thought the below paragraph was relevant but on second read... it's not really.)
Right now I have two jobs: 'Server 2008 VMs' and 'Server 2008 R2 VMs'. I grouped the VMs this way because of the deduplication feature. As I understood it the dedupe happens per job. Hang in there with me because dedupe is not what my question is about.

I'm going through the videos that provide instructions on setting up a SureBackup (Virtual Lab then SureBackup job). During the job wizard's Backup Jobs task the verbiage seems to think there is only one VM per job. I know I can check the box next to each Role a linked backup job has but even still the way the UI is worded makes me think it's assuming one VM per job. And this is why this question came up.

Can SureBackup handle a job that has multiple VMs in it?

Hi - yes, it does not matter how many VM per jobs you have, or where you store those backups.
