Description

Using VMSnapshotLinux-1.0.9131.0 currently.

Is there a method for excluding specific disks from VM Backups?

For example if I have my own temp drive I don't want backed up is there a hook or file I can populate to avoid it from being parsed by the extension?

Research direction

The issue names VMSnapshotLinux-1.0.9131.0 and VM Backups but no source file or test. Start by locating the Linux VM snapshot extension's disk-discovery entry point and existing backup configuration, then define and verify a supported way to exclude a temporary disk from backups.
