Download Information: Version 4.1.4 IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ Snapshot

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When creating a new backup schedule task, the Tivoli Storage
  FlashCopy Manager for VMware GUI correctly creates the
  schedule according to the user selection for the checkbox
  option:
  
   "Newly added virtual machines are included in this backup task"
  
  However, when viewing the properties panel for a schedule via
  the GUI, the checkbox for this option is never shown as
  selected unless there is at least one VM being excluded in the
  backup task.
  
  This problem occurs when all the datastore's VMs have been
  selected for backup in the backup schedule task.
