I don't know how to freeze existing backups. I rename the server in vCenter and run a backup using the new name. Rename to original after the backup. This will preserve the new backup.

Unsure of TSM for VE version. I need to freeze the backups of a VM in their current state as of today. I can exclude the vm from backup. However, will this act like an exclude and cause all backups to become inactive? If so, how to stop backing up a VM but leave its existing backups alone. ********************************************************************** Information contained in this e-mail message and in any attachments thereto is confidential.
