Order VMs for backup, VM name in backups, and full/diff/inc backups
Thread needs solution
We have been testing vmProtect for about a week. After days of failed snapshots and digging through the forums for solutions, I finally got it working. It seems to be what we're looking for. However, I have a few questions.
- How do we order the machines in a backup? E.g., we have a few critical machines we would like to backup before others. The current interface doesn't seem to allow this.
- Is there a way to include the VM's names in a multi-VM backup? Backups are all in the format [backupname]_[date]_[time]D##, where ## is a counter--no way to tell what VM is in which file. Is there a way to include the VM name, like a parameter, e.g., "BackupName_%VirtualName%"?
- How do I specify when to do an full or incremental backup? We want a full backup each Sunday and incremental otherwise. There doesn't seem to be anyway to do that other than an extremely limited GFS scheme of which we have virtually no control and does not specify when full/diff/inc actually occur.
