We have a VMware backup tag which contains 16 servers, is there a way to configure the order in which they are backed up?

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.
