    Hello , 

     

      Thanks Marianne , that is  the command that I have used but the problem it changes also the policy type to Standard . To do that properly , I have discovered that we must specify the policy type as Vmware :

     

    bppllinfo $POLICY -modify -pt VMware -blkincr 1 .

     

    regards,

Try this:

bpplinfo <policy_name> -modify -blkincr <flag>
(1 - perform block-level-incremental backups,  0 - disable block-level-incremental backups)
