Step 2: Select Host/VMs to Backup 

  • The ESXi/vCenter Servers added to the Data Sources of the BDRSuite Backup Server will be listed. If you have added a vCenter Server, then all the ESXi hosts under that vCenter Server and VMs under each ESXi host will be listed.

  • Select the virtual machines for the backup from the list of VMs available in the added ESXi or vCenter Server by selecting the checkboxes corresponding to it. 

  • You can either select the individual VMs or the entire ESXi host for the backup. You can also select the VMs from different ESXi in a single backup job. 

  • Search for the VMs or Hosts added to the Data Sources by using the search bar and add it to the backup job

Information 

Note: 

  1. If the entire host is selected for backup, the new VMs added to that host will be automatically backed up in the next schedule.

  2. Each backup job can have multiple VMs in it. During the backup schedule, VM data will be processed based on the configuration you set on the Backups > Configure Backup Settings > Concurrent Backups.
