If you have a look at the dsmc backup command, there are following options for VMware backup: Ref: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_cmd_bkupvm.html and : https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/client/r_opt_domainvmfull.html The domain level parameters are: all-vm all-windows vmhost vmfolder vmhostcluster vmdatastore No vmresourcepool option here :-(. You could create an RFE for that. I manage a lot of backups using the VMFOLDER option, i.e. move a VM into a dedicated VMware folder and it gets backupped by that datamover. A workaround that we have discussed in last Dutch Spectrum Protect User group is to create a script to list the VMs and create a backup script from that list. This requires scheduled (manual or automated) regeneration of the scripts, so I opted for the VMFOLDER option as this is easy manageable, also by the VMware administrators. We have found out that nested VMfolders also work, so you can have multiple folders with the same name in your folder structure, the TDP for VE picks up all those VMs in the folders. 2016-08-10 3:40 GMT+02:00 Robert Ouzen <[email protected]>: > Hello to all > > We decided to back up our VMware environment with TSM VE 7.1.6 via > Resource Pool ! > > Did you have example what line I need to add in adequate dsm.opt to > configure Resource Pool backup??? > > T.I.A .Best Regards > > Robert > -- Kind Regards, Groetje, Marcel Anthonijsz T: +31(0)299-776768 M:+31(0)6-53421341
