Title
Slow Incremental/Differential backups even with Change Tracking enabled -
Description
When an Incremental or Differential backup runs it is taking almost as long as a Full even though Change Tracking is enabled.
-
Cause
The Change Tracking files maintained by VMware may have become corrupt and vRanger is unable to read them correctly.
-
Resolution
The change tracking files need to be recreated. To recreate the Change Tracking files:
- in vRanger select the vm from the My Inventory view
- right click and select Disable Change Tracking
- go to Virtual Center and create a snapshot (do not quiesce or snap memory)
- when snapshot completes do a Delte All from snapshot manager
- go back to vRanger GUI and right click vm and select Enable Change Tracking
- go to Virtual Center and create a snapshot (do not quiesce or snap memory)
- when snapshot completes do a Delte All from snapshot manager
