Hello Stefan, these tags are to configure backup schedules. Not to configure "ad hoc" backups via "dsmc backup vm". If you want to use tags, please set up your scheduler service to execute the backups.
When you look at your command below it contains the domain statement for using tags: -domain.vmfull="Schedule-Tag" The tag in VMware is the schedule name, like "DAILY_VM_INCR_BACKUP". The dsmc command does not have any linkage to the schedule name. Only the scheduler service knows the schedule name, when it is started. It gets that information from the Spectrum Protect server.

Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Hi all, I'm having some issues running 8.1.0.1 and VMware tagging support. I keep getting the message "ANS9377E No virtual machine is specified on the Back VM command or the virtual machine domain list could not be processed" dsm.opt has "vmtagdatamover yes" set and can log into vCenter and see all the VM's I can select the datamover and compatible schedule in vCenter webclient I attached the schedule to a folder that contains a VM that is not excluded from this backup. I backup using the schedule created via the OC (attached to datamover) and a .cmd script on the datamover: dsmc backup vm -domain.vmfull="Schedule-Tag" -vmbackuptype=FULLVM -asnodename=<DCNODE> -MODE=IFINCR I can't get it to work and there is no log information that will help me, has anybody seen this before? Thanks.
