Title
Rapid Recovery Incrementals are larger than they should be -
Description
While performing agent-less backups in Rapid Recovery the incremental recovery points are larger than expected. -
Cause
This behavior is noticed in ESXi 6 when you use agent-less protection for virtual machines that have an OS of 2008 or newer. There is a known VMware issue regarding the application-consistent quiesced snapshot and the values acquired through Change Block Tracking (CBT), and since Rapid Recovery uses both quiesced snapshots and CBT we may be affected. -
Resolution
This issue occurs due to a conflict within VMware ESXi itself, therefore this can not be remedied through the Rapid Recovery core console. This can cause the incremental recovery point to report as large as the base itself.
VMware has a patch available that should address this behavior:
