For a new or existing subclient, you can select objects from the Oracle VM Manager to include or exclude virtual machines or VM disks for backups.
Automatic discovery enables you to automatically select virtual machines for a subclient based on criteria such as a repository, server, server pool, server pool folder, VM folder, or server folder.
Filtering enables you to exclude virtual machines or VM disks based on similar criteria. You can define filters on a subclient (only applies to that subclient) or on a backup set (applies to all subclients under the backup set).
By combining automatic discovery and filtering, you can precisely target virtual machines to be included for each subclient.
