# Allowing interactive backups on VMs with disabled backup job activity

If backup activity is disabled for a VM, scheduled and manual backup jobs will not run for that VM until backup activity is enabled at both the VM and subclient levels. To run an interactive backup job for a VM while its backup activity is disabled, add the bAllowInterectiveJobForDisabledVM additional setting at the company level.

Note

You can run a backup job for a disabled VM only from the VM level. Running backups from the VM group level is not supported.
