Batch Backup
Configure and launch backups for {{ vm_names|length }} VMs simultaneously
Back to VMs
{% with messages = get_flashed_messages(with_categories=true) %} {% if messages %} {% for cat, msg in messages %}
{{ msg }}
{% endfor %} {% endif %} {% endwith %}
This will create a single grouped backup job for all {{ vm_names|length }} selected VMs. The backups will execute sequentially to prevent datastore I/O congestion, updating a single progress bar and log.
Selected VMs ({{ vm_names|length }})
Change selection
{% for name in vm_names %} {% set vm = vms_by_name.get(name, {}) %}
{{ loop.index }}
{{ name }}
{{ vm.get('guest_os','') or '' }}
{% if vm.get('power_state') == 'poweredOn' %} On {% elif vm.get('power_state') == 'poweredOff' %} Off {% else %} {{ vm.get('power_state','โ€”') }} {% endif %} {% if vm.get('disks') %} {{ vm.disks|length }} disk{{ 's' if vm.disks|length != 1 }} {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% for name in vm_names %} {% endfor %}
Destination
Each VM will be backed up into its own subfolder: dest/VM_NAME/
Disk Strategy
All VMDK disks will be backed up for each VM.
Backup Strategy
80โ€“99% less data transferred on daily runs. The first run is a full backup that seeds the CBT state. All subsequent runs transfer only changed blocks. CBT requires ESXi 4.0+ and VM hardware version 7+.
Retention Policy
All successful backup copies will be preserved indefinitely.
Schedule
e.g. 6 = every 6h ยท 12 = twice daily ยท 168 = weekly
