Large Incremental After Re-map

Post by warnox »

Hi,

I've remapped a bunch of backup jobs from a standalone ESXi server to now go via vCentre and for some reason the following incremental run was the size of a full. This is for every backup job/VM. Why would this be?

Thanks for any help.

These VMs were processed as newly created VMs, because they have a new unique ID now that you go via vCenter. Thanks!

P.S. In future, please create VMware-specific topics in the corresponding subforum. I will move this topic there later.

Thanks but is it possible to use the vCenter Migration Tool with standalone ESXi hosts?

I don't believe so, but you may double-check with support to confirm.
