Hi all
I'm investigating this new feature of VCB 1.0.3:
Quoted from release notes:
Enhancements in Snapshot Functionality
This release includes a feature in the integration modules for VCB to remove old snapshots remaining from previous backup jobs if the previous backup job failed to remove the old snapshots.
My goal is obvoiusly to remove previous VCB snapshot when a new nbackup task is started.
I'm using ESX 3.0.2 VC 2.0.2, VCB 1.0.3 (obviously) and Legato Modules for VCB.
How can I instruct VCB to do this snapshot commit before starting with the backup process?
Thank you 
F.
I've found this:
Edit the vcb configuration file "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Consolidated Backup Framework\config\config.js". There is a section that is commented out by default, change it to:
/*
Behavior for a backup job when the VM mount point already exists.
+) fail
A pre-existing mountpoint is causing a backup job to fail
+) delete
Attempt to remove the pre-existing mount point (and backup
snapshots associated with it). If this op. fails, fail
the backup job.
*
the default option is "fail"
*/
PREEXISTING_MOUNTPOINT="delete";
/*
Behavior for backup job when a previous backup snapshot of a virtual
machine already exists.
*
+) fail
A pre-existing backup snapshot is causing a backup job to fail
+) delete
Attempt to delete the pre-existing backup snapshot. If the
backup snapshot can be deleted without errors, proceed with
the backup job. Otherwise fail the backup job.
*
the default option is "fail"
*/
PREEXISTING_VCB_SNAPSHOT="delete";
I'll test it
