Required disk space on datastores Explanation<br />
A specified percentage of the sum of all<br />
virtual machine disk sizes, plus:<br />
the size of any quiescence zip files, if<br />
quiescence is specified.<br />
the size of the virtual machine memory<br />
file, if specified.<br />
After a snapshot is created, changes made to<br />
the virtual machine disks are recorded to<br />
separate files (one delta file is created <strong>for</strong><br />
each virtual machine disk). A delta file can<br />
grow up to the total size of the virtual<br />
machine disk. Keep this in mind when<br />
specifying Free space required.<br />
To disable the check <strong>for</strong> available disk space <strong>for</strong> a backup, select a value of 0 <strong>for</strong> the option Free<br />
space required when setting up the backup specification.<br />
Per<strong>for</strong>mance: Specifying Quiescence can slow down the speed of backup sessions<br />
considerably.<br />
Concurrent sessions: Backup sessions that use the same devices or back up the same<br />
datacenter cannot run concurrently. If multiple sessions are started concurrently, one session<br />
waits <strong>for</strong> the other to complete.<br />
