Hi,
Trying to configure VIBE to backup our VMware ESX 3.5 environment.
Everything is working fine, except that I can't seem to get the "--novmset" option to work. The documentation states that this options should be used to exclude certain VMs from the backup. I'm reading this to mean that no VMware snapshots should be made of the VMs listed with this option.
I'm using the option "--dsset" to specify a datastore containing (at the moment) three VMs. I'm trying to exclude one or more with "--novmset" but ALL the VMs in the datastore are getting snapshoted anyway.
No error messages in the log, everything works fine, except that the "novmset" seems to be ignored.
Anyone have any ideas?
Here's the relevant lines from the .cfg-file that is used.
# VIBE Backup Configuration File
