Changing the backup name
-
Can I change the snapshot name to form part of a different backup?
We need to seperate our backups to not be part of a collective but on a "per host" level. Everything stays the same, accept for a CR that we have different (host a > host b and host b > host) - As we've already got these backups running, is it possible to change some tags on the VM's and seperate them into the jobs without having to start a complete new backup?

@mauzilla I'm not 100% sure here but pretty sure that the backup stuff is all based on the UUID of snapshots, etc.... so I don't think changing the name will do anything in this case.

@mauzilla Changing the name of the backup jobs or even the snapshots has no impact on backup execution.

Okay let me rephrase, is there then an option to "move" a VM's backup from 1 backup to another. This is simply to avoid having to restart the backup process on some of them?
VM is backup on with delta backups on hypervisor 1 with a backup called "Backup Weekly" - I now want to move that backup to a new Backup called "Host 1 Backup Weekly" - Everything stays the same, destinations etc, it's only that a CR process will also be added now to the new backup.

@mauzilla There is no easy way to achieve that, it requires updating a number of
other_configentries manually.If you have a paid subscription, open a support ticket and I'll take care of it for you
