Hello Marcel and Bas

Thank you for the information....

I  will try with the option VMFOLDER=xxxx,yyyy 

It's a possibility to do it in command line for testing (before adding it 
at dsm.opt)

BACKUP VM ..................................

 I did not find the correct syntax ?

T.I.A Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

There is no option (yet) to directly backup a VMware Resource Pool. If you 
have a look at the dsmc backup command, there are following options for 
VMware backup:
Ref:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_cmd_bkupvm.html

and :
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_opt_domainvmfull.html


The domain level parameters are:
    all-vm
    all-windows
    vmhost
    vmfolder
    vmhostcluster
    vmdatastore

No vmresourcepool option here :-(. You could create an RFE for that.

I manage a lot of backups using the VMFOLDER option, i.e. move a VM into a 
dedicated VMware folder and it gets backupped by that datamover.
A workaround that we have discussed in last Dutch Spectrum Protect User 
group is to create a script to list the VMs and create a backup script 
from that list.
This requires scheduled (manual or automated) regeneration of the scripts, 
so I opted for the VMFOLDER option as this is easy manageable, also by the 
VMware administrators. We have found out that nested VMfolders also work, 
so you can have multiple folders with the same name in your folder 
structure, the TDP for VE picks up all those VMs in the folders.
