Disable snapshotless VM backups?

Thread needs solution

I just upgraded to build 38929 and deployed 2 new ESXi agents but have noticed that my VM backups take a lot longer to complete now. Looking through the backup logs, I see that all VM's on the new ESXi agents report that sector-by-sector backups are being used because snapshotless backups are enabled.

It's not a backup plan option because I have VM's running on the new ESXi and older ESXi hosts within the same backup plan. The VM's running on the older version of ESXi agent backup fine with snapshots; the VM's running on the new version of ESXi agent backup all say that snapshotless backups are enabled and therefore sector-by-sector backups are enabled.

I cannot find how to disable snapshotless VM backups.... How do I turn this off? I'd prefer to use VM snapshots and have my speedy backups back!

Thanks for the assistance,
Robert

Hi Robert,

It appears that you've got the snapshotless backup-based build mistakenly. You should contact our support team with reference to this thread in order to get a newer Acronis Backup Advanced Update 5 build with native snapshot-based (VADP) backup concept to replace your current build.

Thank you.
