How to exclude offline databases from backup

Thanks a lot for the answer.
In the proposed solution you must manually insert the databases to be excluded from the backup, however the databases that are in the "Offline" situation can be so for a limited time perhaps waiting for a next restore. In this case you must remember to remove the DB from the exclusions. I thought a global exclusion for Offline DBs would be simpler.
Thanks again.

Hi @coolsport00 ,

 @Link State answered my question but I don't think the proposed solution is optimal.
I'm still convinced that an option that excludes offline databases from backup is best.
Thanks for your interest.

Ciao.

Hi @dalmasoc -

Thank you for the follow up & information. I think since @Link State answered your question, you can mark his answer as ‘Best Answer’. But, as there is no ‘optimal’ resolution for your question, your best bet to have the feature you’re wanting implemented within Veeam would be to post a feature request in the Forums. Would that be agreeable?

Thank you.

Yes, 

thanks, great idea.

Ciao

Great...thank you.

Wondering if there’s any product improvement on this?

I have a SQL server with hundreds of DBs - I want to exclude 100 that are not in an Availability Group from the backups - the backups job created by Veeam has this command with every DB to be excluded listed: 

"C:\Program Files\Veeam\Plugins\Microsoft SQL\MSSQLRecoveryManager.exe" --backup  --type=full  --ed="DB1"  ed="DB2" …. etc

Is there not a switch or command that will exclude DBs that are not in Av.Groups from the backup job?

​@ewanovic - your best bet is to reach out to Veeam Support, or make a feature request on the Forums. 

Well……    Med den løsning vi har valgt ( VeeamPluginforMSSQL ) er det relativt nemt at løse.

Det script jeg har bygget, kan installere VeeamPluginforMSSQL på een eller flere servere, konfigurere Plugin, oprette og konfigurere SQL backup jobs og sidst men ikke mindst, så indeholder scriptet en “ helper” der detekterer hvilken mode en database er i og ekskluderer “ log, log & diff og eller helt ekskluderer een eller flere databaser automatisk…..

MEN det kræver at du bruger VeeamPlugin og SQL backup jobs..

Regards..

hvis det har interesse, så skriv lige til mig….
