I have a fresh install of BE 2010 R2 fully patched and am trying to setup a weekly full / daily differential backup policy for my VMware enviornment. And BTW, in Vmware I am running vSphere 4.0 U2 all guests are on HW v7.
Well, I've got the policy setup and have configured the weekly to do full backups for the files and in the VMware agent setup area. For the dailys I did Differential in both areas as well and for both I am using AVVI, and want to take advantage of CBT.
I first ran the weekly backup to get a full backup. That resulted in around 650GB backed up. Then I started the daily (supposed to be differential) and that again resulted in 650GB backed up. Would think this would be much lower... I let the daily backup run on its schedule that night to find that it backed up 50GB. That seems better, more along the lines of a differential.
Things seemed to be fine until the next full weekly ran on schedule, which resulted in backing up 50GB. I would expect this to be back up to the 650GB range since this would be a full... I had previously considered CBT to act like the backup bit in a typical filesystem, but I must be mistaken.
Can anyone explain this behavior to me?
Thanks in advance!
