Is it possible to add more tags to the snapshots? I have a script that I use that also addes the DeleteOn date, MountPoint and ParentInstance. Can you add these tags or can I add more than 1 tag when configuring my backups?

Regards,
Jeff

Yes, you can add more than one tag:

You can add up to nine pairs of “key=value” separated by semicolon. Each “key=value” pair creates one snapshot tag. And you can use macros in your tag Definition that are expanded during Job execution.

Example:

“Name=AC Snapshot;Cust=Comtoso;SET=$DOW” will result in three tags:

Tag 1: Key=Name, Value=AC Snapshot
Tag 2: Key=Cust, Value=Comtoso
Tag 3: Key=Set, Value=TUE (weekday of Job execution)

How would I add the Date of Deletion using macros? I tried today date + 30. Not sure how to do this. How would I add the mount point of the volume?

Thanks,

Version 3.3.819 is out now with the requested two new macros:
$ATTACHMENT and $DELETEON
