Protect VM Group

When you create a new orchestration plan or add a VM group to an existing plan, you have an option to run the Protect VM Group step to protect VMs included in the plan.

This step creates a new template-based backup job to back up VMs in the specified VM group as soon as the recovery process is complete.

Protect VM Group Important!

Veeam Backup & Replication server on which the template backup job has been created must be connected to the vCenter Server that manages target VMs.

You can override the following parameters for the Protect VM Group step:
