VMX wants to shutdown VMs

Hello,

VMX wants to shutdown VMs since ESX upgrade to 7.0

Logs say:

Why?

Gladly RBAC on Vcenter is configured such that VMX user is not allowed to do this!

Any option asking to shut down or restart VM is NOT selected.

VMX 7.1.4, ESX 7.0.3

Thanks

    Define what you call "full backup" and/or what your actual end goal is.

    If you do your first "incremental" it will obviously perform a full backup. (what else would it base the incrementals on).

    The only difference is how it does it, AFAIK it uses other APIs/methods, but the result is the same.
