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 .

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

I guess you meant -pt VMware ?
(Not -py ?)

Yes , it's "-pt" , without "-pt VMware" you could lose all the configuration of the VMware policy , because it checks the box "Block level incremental backup" in the general attributes of the policy and it becomes automatically a "Standard POLICY" instead of a VMWARE POLICY .

Please edit the post that you have marked as Solution.
You have typed -py instead of -pt.
