4.2.9 Label (Preserving machine properties in a backup)
Any time data on a machine is backed up, information about the machine name, operating system,
Windows service pack and security identifier (SID) is added to the backup, along with the
user-defined text label. The label may include the department or machine owner's name or similar
information that can be used as a tag or a key.
If you recover (p. 99) the machine to a VMware ESX(i) using Agent for VMware, or convert (p. 131)
the backup to a ESX(i) virtual machine, these properties will be transferred to the virtual machine's
configuration. You can view them in the virtual machine settings: Edit settings > Options > Advanced
> General > Configuration parameters. You can select, sort and group the virtual machines with the
help of these custom parameters. This can be useful in various scenarios.
Example:
Let's assume you migrate your office or datacenter to a virtual environment. By using third-party
software that can access configuration parameters through VMware API, you can automatically apply
security policies to each machine even before powering it on.
To add a text label to a backup:
1. On the Create backup plan (p. 33) page, click Show plan's credentials, comments, label.
2. In Label, enter the text label or select it from the drop-down menu.
