We have Netbackup Enterprise 6.5.4.  Using VCB to backup our VMware 
infrastructure (ESX 4, vCenter 4).

We're using a Flashbackup-Windows, 0-file, ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES policy to backup 
our VMware guests.  The odd thing we're encountering is that no matter what we 
do, Netbackup is scanning through the whole disk.  For a particular guest, 
there is a 1TB VMDK, but there is currently only about 100GB of data on the 
VMDK.  We see it get through the 100GB in record time, but then it just keeps 
going until it gets through the whole disk.

Is this normal?  Is there a setting somewhere we're missing?  Hopefully someone 
else has seen this.

if we switch to a MS-Windows-NT policy, we don't get the throughput we need to 
complete backups in our window.

Thanks.
