Step 4. Exclude Objects
After you have added vApps or VM containers to the replication job, at the vApps step of the wizard you can specify which objects you want to exclude from the replication job.
Note |
You can exclude only child objects that are added to a VM container. For example, if you add an organization VDC to a replication job, you can exclude only vApps that are available in this organization VDC. |
