I found one Symantec KB about reset Change Block Tracking (CBT) for VMware Backups.
Do I need to change ctkEnabled" and change back the value to "true" after power on VM? When change the value of "ctkEnabled" to "false", do it mean that disable Change Block Tracking (CBT) for VMware Backups? Backup size of each VM is equal to the maximum size of VMDK when each backup performs?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Backup Exec article you referred to
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH197311
this is an article from Veamm - http://www.veeam.com/kb1113
The CBT will get re-enabled automatically when you rerun the backup of that VM after attempting the steps mentioned.
If CBT is not working then change blocks will not be reported accurately and Backup Exec would backup more data than is used on the vmdk
I hope this answers your query.
