Allow for excluding VMs through the use of wild cards with the -VM option in the domain statement Merged

We would like to have added a way to skip backing up certain VMs without having to maintain a –VM list in each of the dsm.opt files that pertain to a physical host.

With the current backup product we use we accomplish this by appending the characters [x0] to the end of the VMs name. We would like to be able to utilize this same functionality within the VM domain option to skip all VMs that meet this criteria instead of having to list out each VM individually. Perhaps this could be accomplished by allowing wild cards and escapes to be used in the domain statement to match multiple VM names. In our case we would use something like: –VM=*\[x0\] to accomplish this.
