UPDATE FILESPACE replstate=purgedata not working

We are doing lots of cleanup on our replication target server and have noticed an issue with stopping/purging replication of specific filespaces (in this case, SystemState). All servers are RHEL Linux 7 ISP 7.1.7.400 As we understand it, UPDATE FILESPACE insertnodenamehere 1 nametype=fsid

I'm assuming this was command line. You have to specify the filespace. Example: dsmc restore {\\machinename\c$}\* ... If you try to restore C:, it assumes you are trying to restore the C: on the machine you are on regardless of the nodename you are restoring from. - Thanks, Marc...

how to exclude vm's using sp for ve

8.1.2.0 client Have a batch script that backs up all vm's in our lab, now I have a list of vm's I need to exclude. Here is the backup command: dsmc.exe backup vm * -VmBackupType=FullVm -Mode=IfIncremental -VmMaxParallel=10 -VmMaxBackupSession=20 -VmLimitPerHost=10 -VmLimitPerDatastore=10
