To Mark: Thanks for the link. However, I must not have made myself clear. We need something more akin to the backupset. Freeze a backup while allowing further backups to take place afterward. Are these allowed on an individual vm?

If you have tdp for ve 7.1 or upper, the vm last backup will stay until "expire vm" command will be executed. Regards.
