Backup Exec 15 backing up full vhdx, even though it's not full.
Hello!
I have recently installed Backup Exec 15 and started to backup all my servers. They are all virtual machines running on Hyper-V. I noticed that the byte count on some backup jobs show that ...
BE will backup only the "used blocks" of the vhd / vhdx and not the empty space. This is called as Disk Optimization in BE terms. Have a look @ this KB article for certain scenarios where this will not work - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO99704.html
Secondly, instead of the job log, have a look @ the actual storage itself to verify what actual size was backed up.
