Exclude entire VM? Or have to mark each disk?

[luckman212]

I know we can exclude an individual disk from getting backed up to PBS by unchecking the "Backup" checkbox in the Hardware tab...

What I was wondering is: is there a way to completely exclude ALL disks (aka entire VM) from being backed up? (even new disks which might be added later)

E.g. a way to set this flag at the VM level vs. setting on each disk one by one.

Yes, just don't create a backup job for that VM in the PVE interface.

So... if I already have a backup job for "all" targets (eg below), I should delete that and create a new job only for the specific VMs that i want backed up? Because it doesn't allow me to de-select just a single VM...

You should be able to select the VMs to be backed up. Change the pull down for selection mode.

Indeed! Thanks for the tip, I didn't realize I could change that.
