Changed Block Tracking
-
I have been watching VMware VCP65-DCV (Updated for vSphere 6.7). Does anyone know if or where in the course they talk about Changed Block Tracking?
-
I think that I may have touched on it briefly, in passing, during one of the storage discussions, but it is not covered in a meaningful way in the show.
If you have some questions about it, and/or need some information, please let me know and I will be happy to help out with whatever I can.
Cheers,
Adam

Adam, thanks for the response. I am trying to point our backup agent at Vcenter to enable VM backups. One option is to use Changed Block Tracking and only back up the changes. I wanted to learn a bit more about it.
