Here is the backup command: dsmc.exe backup vm * -VmBackupType=FullVm -Mode=IfIncremental -VmMaxParallel=10 -VmMaxBackupSession=20 -VmLimitPerHost=10 -VmLimitPerDatastore=10 -optfile=BCLAB.opt > %DetailLog% in BCLAB.opt I put this statement: Domain.VMFull -vm=guest*,local*,nb_diskexpandtest,rlt00015,tlpvs001,tlsf001,tlsql003,tlsql012,tlsql200,tlsql201,tlxddc001 But the command is still attempting backups of these. What am I missing?
