New Backup Task wizard, Step 1 “Select VM(s) to back up”
You can back up dynamic groups of the machines by selecting the upper level unit (e.g. ESX(i) host or
VMs folder) in the tree and moving it to the right list with the same > button. As a result, all the
machines running within this group will be automatically included in the backup list. Moreover, any
new machines created in this group will be backed up automatically by the current backup task.
After you make the selection of VM(s) to back up, click Next to finish the first step and continue
further on.
7.2 Where to back up
In the second step, you should define the location for your backup archive. Select a location by
clicking on the Browse button. You will see a pop-up window with the browsing options where you
can define or change the path and set the archive name. From the list of recent locations, you can
either select one of the locations that was previously used or set up a new one.
