Configure the Agent to Retain Disk Resource Allocation After Recovering VMs

  1. Log in to the computer where the agent is installed and open Windows Registry Editor.
  2. Browse to the following registry: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Computer Associates\CA ARCserve Backup\Client Agent\Parameters
  3. Create the following key:

    Key Name:

    RetainDiskResourceForVDDK

    Specify one of the following DWORD values for the key:

  4. Save the key and close Windows Registry Editor.
