Tagschedule

Use the -tagschedule option to back up or rebalance VMs.
W you can back up or rebalance VMs that are assigned to, or are associated with, a schedule and data mover with specified vSphere Web Client GUI and VMware tags. You can use the -tagschedule option with the backup VM command in two scenarios:
  • To run an ad hoc backup operation. For example, you can rerun or preview a scheduled backup operation.
  • To rebalance the data movers on a tagged schedule. You can use the -VMREBALANCESCHEDULEONLY option to rebalance the data movers on an ad hoc basis and the -VMREBALANCESCHEDULEPERIOD option to rebalance the data movers on a regular basis.
The -tagschedule option works only with tag-based schedule names.

Supported Clients
