XSIBackup-DC 1.5.1.1 VMs not selectable via regexp with --backup=cbt

Hi,

What I am doing wrong when I want to backup VMs based on a regexp in back mode --backup=cbt?

I entered:

"VMs(^.*_XSIREP$)"

to select all my CBT replicated and registered VMs which end with "_XSIREP". Nevertheless, I receive the following error message:

2021-09-26T17:22:31 | Error code 2882 at file xsibackup.c, line 2882 | Error description: could not find any VM in list: ^.*_XSIREP$, please check that the VM files exist

When I create a long list of all VMs separated by commas, I can backup them.

Best regards,
Peter
