I want to exclude all DR restores, which will go into a Pool, from a Backup Job.
I'm looking at the backup job config interface.
I see the options to Select, All, or Exclude VMs.
And then there's Pool based.
That sounds like exactly what I want.
Backup everything but this Pool.
Unfortunately, it appears to just be inclusive. No exclusion option for Pools.
Ok then. I guess what I want to do won't work.
Let's assume the lunkheads i work with won't be good about putting the bulk of the VMs into a different Pool.
I write DR process.
I can make sure that any replicated backups restored for DR purpose are configured as needed, including pools or tags or whatever we do.
Is there a way that I can still use my "backup everything" job and also exclude the DR restores? I'm open to ideas.
I've just set it to the Exclude selected VMs. It would be nice to manage this from group membership, but i don't see a way.
