Hi,
When testing the incremental backup of a fixed VM, I found that backup exec undergoes a full backup and not an incremental one. Is there a work around to let backupup ex perform an incremental backu of a fixed virtual machine?

Also there can be issue aissue where you have to reset CBT within the VM itself ( so not a Backup Exec root cause). I believe the process to fix is
Shutdown VM
Turn off CBT in settings of VM
Boot up VM
Shutdown VM again after a short time interval
Power up the VM
Run a Full backup (whicc turns CBT back on)
Then run an incremental

Incremental backup of VM depends upon factors such hardware version of the VM (must be atleast 7 or above), and Change Block tracking (CBT) must be enabled.
