Enabling or Disabling Changed Block Tracking for Amazon EC2 Backups

You can enable or disable changed block tracking in the CommCell Console.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > virtualization_client > Virtual Server > Amazon > backup_set.

2. Right-click the subclient, and then click Properties.

3. To enable or disable CBT backups, on the Backup Options tab, select or clear the Use Changed Block Tracking check box, respectively.

   The Use Changed Block Tracking check box is enabled by default for new subclients.

   Important

   If you use CBT backups, in certain cases, the Commvault software might not delete snapshots that are intended to be temporary, and these snapshots can increase your monthly costs for AWS. For information about identifying and deleting these snapshots, see Cleaning up resources after Amazon EC2 instance or backup deletion.

4. Click OK.
