Step 3. Select Objects to Back Up
At the Scope step of the wizard, specify virtual infrastructure objects that you want to include in the backup:
- Click the Objects to include link.
- In the Protected objects window, click the Browse to select objects link.
- In the Add Objects window, specify objects that you want to include in the backup scope:
- To back up a VM container, on the Container tab select the available container.
If you select a VM container and add new VMs to this container in future, Veeam Backup & Replication will update backup job settings automatically to include these VMs.
- To back up separate VMs, on the VM tab select the necessary VMs.
Note: |
Veeam Service Provider Console collects data from the connected Veeam Backup & Replication servers every hour. If you have added a VM to a container, it may take up to an hour for this VM to get included in the backup scope. To back up the new VM, make sure to collect data from Veeam Backup & Replication servers manually before configuring or running the backup job. For details, see Collecting Data. |
