Is this an actual problem??
My assumptions are: "The VM is currently running and it's disks are in use; backing up at the file level instead of block level"..
Here is the explanation about the below error:
2013-06-10 19:47:11 avvcbimage Warning <14654>: The in-use blocks (pass 1) could not be found for 'VDP-1370905261eb59958813df89e55ebd23a80818e3f1d002d209', using disk extents
This is the period when VDDP API uses ctk to query the blocks that have changed since last backup. The querying is done using a hash of QueryChangedDiskAreas method and an array of VirtualMachine.DiskChangeInfo.DiskChangeExtent.
QueryChangedDiskAreas method is a VirtualMachine.DiskChangeInfo data object containing a description of the area of the vmdk disk covered (start offset and length), and VirtualMachine.DiskChangeInfo.DiskChangeExtent describes the starting offset and length of various disk areas that have changed.
So, the disk extent referred here is the method used to query changed blocks and has nothing to do with extents. vmdk has no concept of extents.
The above error is encountered when the concerned method is not able to query the in-use blocks which is taken during full backup of VM due to SOAP communication error. So instead of doing an incremental backup, it goes for a full backup again.
