Hi there,

to make sure every produtive VM will be backuped, even if it will be setup later, we are running the backup jobs with option "Selection Mode: ALL" on every node. What we don't want to be backuped are the VM templates. Is there an option avaiable to exclude templates from backup jobs in generaly?

Thanks & Best Regards
Martin
 
no, but you could use 'pool based' backups and put all your guests but not the templates in a pool
edit: or probably better: use the 'exclude' mode and exclude all templates
