Hi all,

We have a VMware vSphere environment with 246 virtual machines. We have 4 
datamovers to do backups with TDP for VE.
In the client schedule we define the command:

        -vmfulltype=vstor -vmbackuptype=fullvm -asnodename=<nodename that owns 
the backupdata> -domain.vmfull="VM=<list with virtual machines, comma 
separated>" -MODE=IFIncremental

This command is limited to 512 characters. So, it isn't possible to schedule 
all virtual machines at one timestamp, because the hostnames of the virtual 
machines don't fit in 4 times 512 characters.

We could make more schedules for the 4 datamovers, but there would be a risk 
that client schedules are missed, if a client schedule starts while another one 
on the same datamover is still running.

Does anyone have an easy idea for scheduling 246 virtual machines with TDP for 
VE?

Kind Regards,
Ruud Meuleman
