We add a suffix of -NB (no backup) to the label of vms we do not wish to backup, and then add -vm=*-NB to the schedule option string. We have over 3,400 vms, but we only backup Hard Disk 1 with TSMVE and use TSM Enterprise for their data disks. We impose a size limit of 60 GB on Hard Disk 1 if the owner wants TSMVE backups. We have set the vmmaxparallel option at 20 with no problems so far.
