Vmprotect 8 incremental backp too slow

Thread needs solution

Hello, i'm testing vmprotect 8 and all was working fine since i updated esxi 5.0 to 5.1 to test it. Since this the backup is taking to much time, is transfereing all the data (not only the blocks with changes) but the restoring point is only with the incremental backup.

Thanks. Best regards.

Carlos.

Hi Carlos,

The backup process should properly transfer only the changed blocks (you can check whether CBT was used in the backup log). What might happen here is that you have automatic backup validation enabled. This validation takes approximately the same time as the _full_ backup, since it checks the entire recovery point (including all parts of it) for consistency. Please check the time it takes to back up the VM when validation option is disabled.

Thank you.

Hello, Vasilly, thanks for your answer. I've been checking and the option of backup validation and is disabled. I've also check the log and the CBT is being used. Any other idea?

Thans again.

Hi Carlos,

Can you please attach the log from the backup operation here? It's better to save the log from a couple of backup attempts (1 full into new archive + 1 incremental run) in order to track the history of how long it took to take backup in each attempt. You can capture the full log from View->Show Logs->Save All To File.

Thank you.
