Hello!
I know CBT is a VMware functionality that Commvault and other backup softwares use. Netbackup leverages the advantages of CBT on both full and incre/diff jobs. Does the same apply to Commvault?
Check this doc from NBU: https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/21902280-127283730-0/v27791754-127283730
- Backup of entire virtual machine, with full schedule: Backs up only the blocks that have changed since the .vmdk was created. Note that the blocks that are not initialized are excluded from the backup.
- Backup of entire virtual machine, with incremental schedule: Backs up only the blocks that have changed since the last backup, as follows: For cumulative incrementals, BLIB backs up only the blocks that changed since the last full backup. / For differential incrementals, BLIB backs up only the blocks that changed since the previous backup of any kind.
So, will Commvault full backups also get the advantages of CBT?

Pedro
