NVP vProxy: VM-sikkerhedskopiering sikkerhedskopierer ikke-allokeret diskplads som ændrede data

Som et eksempel har en VM følgende diskkonfiguration og -brug:

Under VM-sikkerhedskopieringer logges følgende i logfilen for VM-sikkerhedskopieringssessionen:

Bemærk: Næsten hele den klargjorte plads på nogle diske beregnes som ændrede bytes, selvom der i nogle tilfælde er mere end 50 % ledig diskplads.

Logfilerne for VM-sikkerhedskopieringssessionen kan findes på vProxy under: 

/opt/emc/vproxy/runtime/logs/recycle/vbackupd/date
 

Logfiler for VM-sikkerhedskopieringssession kan også findes på NetWorker-serveren. Men NetWorker-serverlogfilerne er underlagt jobdb-opbevaring (72 timer, standard). Det betyder, at sessionens logfiler fjernes fra serveren 72 timer efter afslutningen. vProxy-logfilerne påvirkes ikke af dette.

Nulstil CBT (Change Block Tracking) for VM'erne, hvis problemet opstår.
Se VMware-dokumentation: Nulstilling af ændret bloksporing for VMware vSphere virtuelle maskiner (2139574)

Det anbefales at kontakte VMware-support, hvis der kræves hjælp med denne procedure, og for at undersøge eventuelle problemer, der er observeret med CBT.
