Backup job triggered by client

Is it possible to trigger a Backup Job from a client (a buildserver).

I would like to start a vmware backup from a buildserver if a specific build was producted by the buildserver.

The client is a VMware Windows 10 mashine. Running on an ESX Server on a vCenter Server.

Hi Xadox,

No...backups are always triggered by a media server based on definitions you have provided (start time, date, frequency etc). Nothing is ever triggered by a client.

Thanks!

When your condition is triggered on the remote server, you can invoke a remote Powershell session on the BE Server from the remote server and use the BEMCLI cmdlet, Start_BEJob to start the backup.
