Adding a virtual machine or datastore to an existing backup job

You can add a new virtual machine or datastore to an existing backup job. If you have already created a backup job with specific schedule and retention properties, you can then add a new datastore or virtual machine to the existing backup job.

Steps

  1. From the vSphere Web Client Home page, click VMs and Templates to view virtual machines or click Storage to view datastores.
  2. In the navigation pane, expand the datacenter that contains the virtual machine or datastore depending on whether you are in the VMs and Templates view or the Storage view.
  3. Right-click the datastore or virtual machine and select NetApp VSC > Backup > Add to Backup Job.
  4. In the Add to Backup Job dialog box, select the backup job to which you want to add the datastore or virtual machine.
  5. Click OK.
