A related question:

If you use domain.vmfull in dsm.opt, is it cumulative like drive domain 
statements?
As in, can I do it this way:

domain.vmfull vmclus=bungee
domain.vmfull -vm=one,two,three
domain.vmfull -vm=four,five,six
domain.vmfull -vm=*test*
etc.

I have the same problem with VMFOLDER as I have with VM.  It is not ANDed with 
the VMHOST parameter.

David,

My best practice is to use the VMFOLDER option and drop the VM's you want to 
backup in that VM folder.

But I agree there should be better options to build your VM list..
