Don’t know if anyone noticed it or not but with the latest set of patches VMware changed the “Delete All” mechanism that is part of the Snapshot feature. I wrote multiple articles about the “Delete All” functionality as it often led to completely filled up VMFS volumes when someone used without knowing the inner workings. Source When using the Delete All option in Snapshot Manager, the snapshot farthest from the base disk is committed to it…

Because VMware Consolidated Backup uses the snapshot functionality, backing up this type of virtual machines will fail as well. To avoid this problem, make sure the file names for virtual disks are unique. If your virtua…
