We have a VMware backup tag which contains 16 servers, is there a way to configure the order in which they are backed up?
Answer
Backup order of VMs when utilizing VMware backup tags

Chris,
We utilize VMware backup tags throughout our enterprise, it is much easier to manage. I figured we would need to isolate the VMs in question and create a separate backup job for them.
Thanks
You could still use tags and have a job for each VM. Then schedule them to run after each other in order. That would be a way around it.

+21I am pretty sure when you select a tag it just backs them up in random order and there is no way to specify an order. I think if you needed that you would want to select the VMs and then order them.
