Filter VM Backup Data

Filter VM Backup Data
56 Agent for VMware Guide
If the VM is running a VMware-supported Windows operating system, and you
are performing a file mode backup, you can filter VM backup data. This
mechanism lets you perform the following tasks:
■ Back up only the data on the VM based on, for example, file pattern, date
range, date modified, file size, and so on.
■
Selectively back up files, folders, or both in a selected volume.
■ Apply filtering criteria globally or locally to your backup jobs.
Note: A global filter applies filters to all of your backup jobs while a local
filter applies filters only to the selected VM.
To filter VM backup data
1. Open the Backup Manager window and browse to the VM that you want to
filter.
2. Do one of the following actions:
To apply global filters to the backup operation, click the Filter toolbar
■
button on the Backup Manager window.
To apply local filters to the backup operation, right-click the VM object
■
and select Filter from the pop-up menu
The Filter dialog opens.
3. Specify the filters required to complete the backup job.
For more information about filtering data, click Help on the Filter dialog.
