Virtual disk selection options: an example to avoid

You should use the Virtual disk selection option with care. For example, if you add a disk to the virtual machine and change the Virtual disk selection setting, note: The next backup may not capture the virtual machine in the state that you intended. You should back up the entire virtual machine (Include all disks) before using Virtual disk selection to exclude a disk from future backups.
