Creating VM Backup Jobs

You can create a VM backup job from the app or from a Service Catalog request.

Note

Consider the following:

Before you create a job, configure a job template. For more information, see Configuring VM Backup Job Templates.
Settings that a backup job inherits from the template are updated automatically if template changes.
If you do not want job settings to be updated, after you create a job, remove the template from the Backup Job Template field.
If you want to change job settings later, you will need to select a template with desired settings for this job again. Changes will be applied immediately.

Creating VM Backup Jobs From App

To create a VM backup job from the app, perform the following steps:

Click All > Veeam > Virtual Machines > Jobs.
Click New.
Specify a name and description for the job.
In the Backup Job Template field, select a template that will be used for this job.
In the Virtual Machines field, select virtual machines that you want to back up.
To allow a specific user group to use this job, unlock the User Groups field and select a user group from the list.
Click Submit.

Creating VM Backup Jobs From Service Catalog

To create a VM backup job from the ServiceNow Service Catalog, perform the following steps:

Click All > Self-Service > Service Catalog.
In the search field, enter Veeam. Then, click the search button or press [Enter].
Click VM Backup Job Request.
Specify a name and description for the job.
In the Backup Job Template field, select a template that will be used for this job.
In the Virtual Machines section, select virtual machines that you want to back up.
To run a full backup session after you create the job, select the Run Job After Creation check box. Alternatively, you can run it later manually in the All > Veeam > Virtual Machines > Jobs section. For more details, see Running VM Backup Jobs.
Click Submit.

To view all created requests and their statuses, click All > Veeam > Service Catalog Requests > VM Backup Job Requests.
