view.
Show sub-domain virtual machines Displays all virtual machines in the vCenter.

backup, it is shown as disabled in this view.
Virtual Machine Properties - Enable
changed block tracking
If selected, the changed block tracking is enabled.
Note: If changed block tracking is not enabled, the virtual
machine image must be fully processed for each backup,
which might result in unacceptably long backup windows,
and excessive back-end storage read/write activity.
This feature is enabled by default. EMC strongly
recommends that you leave this feature enabled for all
virtual machines you will be protecting with Avamar
VMware image backup.
