Example of an advanced filter

If you have a large installation of virtual machines, you may need to create multiple filter strings to ensure your schedule backs up the desired virtual machines. See below for an example of an advanced filter.

This schedule would protect virtual machines within:

ESX Server whose name contains Shoe Department
Datacenters whose names are Columbia
Any cluster with prod-Q1 in the name
VMs that do not contain mens in their display name
