Exclude AIX job from backup copy on repository

Hi @ipardo -

According to the User Guide, if you added a Repo, you can exclude either VMs or Jobs from the Copy Job, shared by stating the following:

“If you have added repositories as sources of restore points, you can exclude individual VMs or backup jobs from processing. To exclude individual VMs, click Add > VMs. To exclude individual jobs, click Add > Jobs.”
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/backup_copy_exclude.html?ver=120
 

But, if your AIX job isn’t managed by the Veeam Server, maybe Veeam isn’t seeing it to exclude? What do you mean your AIX is unmanaged? Maybe try what Chris suggested to see if you’re then able to exclude your AIX.

Hi All,

copy job is inmediate mode and it goes from repository.

AIX server is unmanaged, so there is not plugin installed on VBRserver, all tasks are executed from aix server.

[root@AIXSERVER]:/# veeamconfig mode info
Owner: Not set
Mode: Standalone

 

The question is that with new job we cannot exclude, but in the old job it was excluded.

 

thx and Regards.

So based on that screenshot the AIX job should be excluded.  If it is not being excluded you may want to open a case with Support to get them to check the logs as to why this is not working as expected.

Also what if you create a new Copy Job as a test to do the exclusion - does that work?  Wondering if the upgrade of the current job is the issue?  This is why Support would be needed.

I should ask, if you do open a case, once resolved, please post back the fix for future reference as I’m curious and it might be helpful to others.

Hi All, sorry for delay, but we still have the issue. 

Veeam support was checking all but didn’t find the root cause.

Recently, we have sent a copy of veeam database to be analyzed by support team and we are waiting for results.

We will post here the final resolution.

Thanks for your interest and regards.
