Important:
For backup of VM with snapshot, backup of the whole VM instead of individual disk is highly recommended.

When %edition_name% detects the VM is possible to enable VDDK mode backup, it will enable the 'Changed Block Tracking (CBT)' in the VMware automatically. No VM’s snapshot, memory or the suspend status will be able to backup and restore. If the backup and restore of the VM’s snapshot, memory or the suspend status is required, please disable the 'Auto enable Changed Block Tracking (CBT)' option in the backup set option page.

!
  1. To run the backup in VDDK mode, the tracking option will be turned on, the running VM will be turned off and all the snapshot will be removed.
  2. When the VM hardware version is below version 7, it will prompt for the upgrade, the running VM will be turned off and all the snapshot will be removed.
