Defining Exclusions

To exclude objects from Business View categorization:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

For details, see Accessing Veeam ONE Client.

2. In the main menu, click Settings > Server Settings.

Alternatively, press [CTRL + S] on the keyboard.

3. In the Server Settings window, open the Business View tab.
4. In the Exclusion rules section, select an object type and click Edit.
5. [For virtual infrastructure objects] Choose platform for which you want to define exclusions (VMware, Hyper-V).
6. In the Edit Global Exclusion Rule window, click Add Condition and specify exclusion conditions:

• From the Property drop-down list, select an object property.

The list contains all object properties that Veeam ONE collects from virtual and backup infrastructure servers.

• From the Operator drop-down list, select a conditional operator.

The list contains the following operators: Equals, Does not equal, Starts with, Ends with, Contains, Does not contain, Wildcard.

• In the Value field, specify a value that will be checked in the condition.

The condition will be evaluated against discovered objects. To add another condition, click Add Condition.

By default, conditions are linked by the AND operator. That is, an object is excluded when all specified conditions are met. You can change this behavior by linking conditions with the OR operator. In this case, Veeam ONE will exclude an object from categorization when a condition for any of the linked rules is met.

For example, you can exclude VMs based on their power state, datacenter name, and guest OS. If you want to exclude all powered on VMs that reside in datacenter Atlanta or run Linux as their guest OS, you must link these conditions. The second and the third conditions will be linked to each other with the OR operator. The first condition will be linked to them with the AND operator.

To link conditions:

1. Select check boxes next to the necessary conditions and click Link.

2. In the Rule Condition window, select a link operator and click OK.

Linking supports 3 levels of nesting.

6. Click Save.
