===== Cause ===== The CBT (Change Block Tracking) feature is only supported for Hyper-V 2008 R2 or new releases, with backup destination set to a local or network drive relative to the Hyper-V host. ===== Resolution ===== To utilize the CBT (Change Block Tracking) feature for Hyper-V 2008 R2 or newer releases, re-configure the backup destination of the affected MS VM backup set to a local destination (local or network drive):
  1. Login to the AhsayOBM user interface.

  2. Select Backup Sets, then the corresponding MS Hyper-V backup set.

  3. Click on Add, then select Local / Mapped Drive / Removable Drive under the Destination storage drop down menu:



  4. Click Test to confirm if the destination is accessible, then OK and Save to confirm the changes.

    Note: Delete the previous backup destination (e.g. AhsayCBS, Cloud storage, or SFTP / FTP storage) afterward, and re-create a separate backup set that does not utilize the Hyper-V CBT feature if necessary.

    Refer to Chapter 1 in the Ahsay Online Backup Manager - Microsoft Hyper-V Guest Virtual Machine Backup & Restore Guide for details on MS Hyper-V backup set.
