VDP 5.8 - Datastore does not have enough free space for snapshot

Hi

After upgrade from VDP 5.5.6 to 5.8 i have problem with one backup job:

Backup job - VM's 1 disk (50GB); free space on storage where VM is 131GB (for VDP snaphshot); free space on VDP storage 550GB.

It was working fine on VDP 5.5.6. Now, it says that there is not enough free space to create snapshot on VM's datastore.

I'm able to create manually snapshot of that VM, so it's not a problem of the free space.

I have tried to add new backup job, but it didn't solved the problem.

Any ideas?

Did you perhaps try to backup a raw device? Because that's not supported.
