      <description>Defrag inside VM will change the blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
So the blocks will be take by the backup process as new blocks.&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Incremental backup with Defrag</title>
      <link>http://communities.vmware.com/message/1290208?tstart=0#1290208</link>
      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
Quick question on defragging a VM. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
 Here is the scenario:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
 VM is backed up (full), change tracking enabled. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Incremental backup is taken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
 Defrag is run for the VMDK in the VM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Since CBT is tracking changed blocks, will the next incremetal include the the blocks that have changed due to defrag? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
The assumption is yes but need confirmation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
