It is recommended to limit the number of exclusions in backup jobs. This feature can be useful when refreshing VMware tags, for example, to update CMDB. OBV can also import VM/host/datastore descriptions from a CSV file. Classifications can be defined from CPU, RAM, VM naming convention, folder, resource pool, datastore etc.
OBV allows for creating classification rules and update corresponding tags in vCenter. Veeam ONE Business View (OBV) is a very convenient tool for managing vSphere Tags.Using tags, you can classify VMs by service levels, using different backup jobs for different service levels.Only one tag can be used to include a VM in a job.Monitor the number of VMs automatically added to the job to avoid too many VMs being backed up within a single job.However, it is recommended to follow these guidelines: Tags are very convenient for a policy driven approach to data protection. For instance, when creating jobs based on datastores, VMs with disks residing on multiple datastores included in more than one backup job will cause the VM to be backed up in each job. Overlapping constructs may cause undesired results. When creating jobs based on groups or constructs, ensure that the configured constructs do not overlap. New machines that are member of such constructs or containers are automatically included in the backup job. Container based jobsĪdding resource pools, folders, datastores, or vSphere Tags (vSphere 5.5 and higher) to backup jobs makes backup management easier. Job sizing guidelines still apply, and it is recommended to monitor the backup window and the size of the job for manageability. Grouping VMs running the same operating system or deployed from similar templates into a single job will increase deduplication rate. The following recommendation applies to job level deduplication only. When using per VM backup files, deduplication is only available within a single VM backup chain, which reduces it's efficiency but still makes it relevant. If the target repository is not configured to use per VM backup files, deduplication across all VMs within a single job is available. More guidelines on object selection are listed below. This screen also provides an advanced object exclusion tool that allows you to select a parent object and then exclude child objects, or even individual disks within a VM. You can switch between the Hosts and Clusters, VMs and Templates, Datastores and VMs or Tags views by pressing the appropriate button on the backup object selection screen.
At the Virtual Machines step of the job wizard, the Add Objects screen offers various “views” into the vCenter architecture that match the views provided by the vSphere client. Veeam Backup and Replication allows you to flexibly select objects to add to the job. Backup Job Job Layout and Object Selection
