Virtual machine include options
Virtual machine include and exclude options influence the behavior of backup and restore operations for virtual machines. These options are processed before any command-line options are processed, so that options on the command line can override options specified on any of the virtual machine include options or virtual machine exclude options. See the individual option descriptions for information about the options.
- Include.vapp
When you back up a VMware vCloud vApp, the backed up data is bound to a management class that is specified by the vappmc option. You can use the include.vapp option to override the management class that is specified by vappmc and bind the backed up data for a vApp to a different management class. - Include.vm
For Hyper-V or VMware operations, this option overrides the management class that is specified on the vmmc option. - Include.vmdisk
The INCLUDE.VMDISK option includes a VMware virtual machine disk in backup operation. If you do not specify one or more disk labels, all disks in the virtual machine are backed up. - INCLUDE.VMSNAPSHOTATTEMPTS
For VMware backup operations, this option determines the total number of snapshot attempts to try for a VMware virtual machine that fails during backup processing due to snapshot failure. - INCLUDE.VMTSMVSS
The INCLUDE.VMTSMVSS option notifies virtual machine applications that a backup is about to occur. This option allows the application to truncate transaction logs and commit transactions so that the application can resume from a consistent state when the backup completes. An optional parameter can be specified to suppress truncation of the transaction logs. You must be licensed to use Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware to use this option.
