Summary



FV/RRP jobs create VMs with more disks compared to the original nodes.

Symptoms



When running a Full Virtualization with a RRP job, the resulting VM has more disks (some of them with different size) than the existing one on the original backup source node.



Resolution



This is expected behavior.

In the Linux case, a separate disk (vmdk) is created for each LVM group that exists on the original source node. Separate disks are created for swap, boot, partitions, etc.

In the Windows case, each partition that exists on the original source node, gets its own virtual disk (vmdk).

Furthermore, in some cases, the newly created partitions differ in size with the original ones, since they are based on the used space of the original sources not their entire space allocation.
