Step 1: Adding Basic Job Details 

Get started by creating a backup job by choosing Job Create Option, choose to Create Job without using a template if you want to create a backup from scratch, or choose to Create Job using an existing template if you would like to use an already created template for the backup job creation. 

If you choose to Create Job using an existing template, you have to select an already created template you want to use for this backup job. Selecting a backup job template will load the VM/Disk Exclusion, Guest VM Processing, Backup Scheduling & Job Settings from the selected template.

• In the Backup Job Name filed, Provide a name for the backup job to identify it. The allowed characters in the backup job name are [A-Z][a-z][0-9][ - _ ]. Space and Special characters are not allowed.

• Specify the Backup Repository type. You can choose Block Storage or Object Storage to store the backup data. 

• After selecting the Backup Repository type, you have to select the name of the Block Storage or Object Storage repository to store the backup data. Click on the drop-down to select the backup repository name.   

• In the Job Description field, provide a description for future reference. You can provide additional information related to this backup job in the description field.
