<![CDATA[Are there any downsides to using CBT when doing backups?]]>I moved over to using CBT this past weekend. It seems much, much, faster and I didnt have a single error. In the past about 20% of my nightly incremental backups had errors like "can't compute delta OpaqueRef:blah-fba0-ced3-7653-blahblah from OpaqueRef:blah-b53d-3935-1af0-blahblah, fall back to a full"

I have this option "Purge snapshot data when using CBT" set to yes.

I have both of these options set to no as I don't really fully understand the implications (other than the info bubble 😞
"Merge backups synchronously "
"Synchronize snapshots"

With that said, are there any downsides to using CBT when doing backups?

Thanks!
