How to exclude a VM in TSM4VE

[rallingham]

I have been checking the user guide for TSM4VE and I do not see how to exclude a VM from being backed up. I am sure I saw this feature in a previous TSM4VE release (V6.3) but I am not seeing it in the V7.1.1 TDP. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Never mind I found it. When you create a backup job you can apply a filter with the name of the VM to exclude. When things run tonight I will know for sure that all is well.

Yep - alternatively, you can adjust the DOMAIN.VMFULL option on your datamover dsm.opt, or in the scheduled command for the datamover on the TSM server. This technote talks about the various options for including/excluding things with this option:

It seems to work fine.
