full backup starting instead of incremental one, ANS9387W

[Lukas]

Hello All, please, i need your help.
If i want to start backup for VM, where CBT cannot be obtained, TSM for VE starts full backup. That is correct. During backup i get following error

ANS9387W An incremental backup for virtual machine 'XXX' is not possible because changed block information cannot be obtained. A full VM backup is attempted instead.

In this case full backup will start. But because we have many problems now on VMware, is important for us to finish backup like presented one in error, so my question is, if there is any option, which can be used in opt file, to interrupt backup in this phase and finish it in error? I can also say, do not start full backup for affected VM?

Thank you very much in advance.

No. You can exclude some VMs of the backup, but that's independent of full VS incremental.

So, you need to fix ANS9387W sooner rather than later to avoid full backups.
