AVVI Incremental\Differential backup fails with the error "0xe00095b4 - Incremental\\Differential backup methods are not supported for this VM"
Problem
AVVI Incremental\Differential backup fails reporting the error "Final error: 0xe00095b4 - Incremental\\Differential backup methods are not supported for this VM. The backup job failed, since the option 'to fall back to a full backup' was not selected"
This error occurs when Full backup job is targeted to Tape Media and the Incremental\Differential Job is targeted to Backup-To-Disk (B2D) location.
Error Message
0xe00095b4 - Incremental\\Differential backup methods are not supported for this VM. The backup job failed, since the option 'to fall back to a full backup' was not selected
Cause
Virtual machines cannot be backed up by running Full and Incremental\Differential to different media types. This applies to both AVVI and Hyper-V virtual agent backups.
Solution
Run the Full and Incremental\Differential backps to the same media type. You can run the backup job as follows
- Full backup to tape media and Incremetal\Differential to tape.
- Full backup to B2D and Incremental\Differential to B2D.
