px pxb retry backup

Retry a failed or partially completed backup.

This command allows you to retry backup operations that have failed or completed partially. It is particularly useful for VM backups where individual virtual machines may have failed during the backup process. You can specify which specific resources to retry or retry the entire backup operation.

Note: This operation is primarily supported for VirtualMachine backup types.

Examples:

# Retry entire backup by name
pxb retry backup --name my-failed-backup

# Retry backup by UID
pxb retry backup --uid backup-12345

# Retry specific VMs in a backup
pxb retry backup --name vm-backup --include-resources "vm1:default,vm2:production"

# Retry backup and skip VM auto execution rules
pxb retry backup --name vm-backup --skip-vm-auto-exec-rules

# Retry specific VMs with auto rules disabled
pxb retry backup --name vm-backup --include-resources "vm1:default,vm2:production" --skip-vm-auto-exec-rules
