If i understand correctly Changed Block Tracking is not supported when taking VM backups in a Citrix environment?

Backups for Citrix Xen (commvault.com)

  • When a virtual machine disk for a Xen virtual machine is backed up, the entire disk is read for allocated blocks, for both full and incremental backups.

Can anyone confirm? I was thinking that CBT will greatly improve the backup speed.

 

Thank you!
