A quick feature request: it would be useful to be able to select which disks to include in a VM backup. Currently all disks are included, but I have a large scratch disk on one VM that has been blowing out my backups and it would be nice to be able to skip it.

Cheers... Mike
 
Yup, I'd find that very useful too!

Actually, in my opinion: to select which disks that are not to be backed up would be even better. I assume in general people will want to back up everything by default, except some well-known exceptions.

Mike -- while waiting for this feature, have you implemented a workaround?

Thanks,

Alternatively (maybe easier to implement), another solution may be to make it possible to specify a maximum size of the disk to be backed up. This way you can omit larger disks from the backups.
