About backups

Hi, I have a question about backups. Is it possible to create a backup job that includes multiple virtual machines?
I see that I can back up an instance, host, or provider, but I can’t find a way to add multiple virtual machines to a job.

Thanks

I would think of it differently, not that you are adding VMs to a Backup Job but that you are associating a Backup Job with VMs.

For example, I've created a Schedule named MySchedule1 in Automation > Execure Scheduling. I've assoicated that schedule with a new Backup Job named MyBackup1 from Backups > Jobs

Then you can assosicate the Backup Job when you are provisioning a new Instance (seen below) or after provisioning in the Backups tab of an Instance:

You can also create those Backup Jobs as you are creating the Instance, which you can the associate with additional Instances later too.
