include=<Java Regexp> Specifies a list of guest VM names to backup.

exclude=<Java Regexp> Specifies a list of guest VM names to not backup.

vm=<guest VM name> Specifies the name of a single guest VM to backup.

The use of regular expressions in the parameters include= and exclude= must be a Java compatible regular expression.

In order to be backed up the guest VM must match the include=... predicate and not match the exclude=.... A guest VM that matches the vm=... will be backed up regardless of the include/exclude specifications.

By default all guest VMs match the include predicate and not the exclude. Therefore, if none of the parameters vm=..., include=... and exclude=... are provided, all available guest VMs hosted on the Microsoft Azure hypervisor will be backed up.

On the other hand, if the parameter vm=... is specified, all guest VMs will no longer match include=... predicate. This means that if only vm=... parameter is specified, no other guest VM will be backed up.

See Fileset Examples section for examples of include/exclude/vm setups.
