Creating an incremental or a differential backup of VMware resources
If your virtual machines are configured with vSphere 4.0 or 4.1 with hardware version 7, you can create incremental or differential backups of VMware resources by creating policy backup jobs.
See Creating a full backup of VMware resources.
Backup Exec includes example policies for VMware incremental and differential backups. These example policies contain the standard settings. You can copy the example policies and then customize them to meet your needs.
