no differential

I realized that my backup always detected as full backup when it took almost 7 hours everyday when it should not.

grep "subsequent backups will be differential" xsibackup-
cron.log | grep MAIL2
2018-05-20T05:59:16|  [MAIL2] info: finished doing a first copy in a diff scope, subsequent backups will be differential
2018-05-22T21:08:22|  [MAIL2] info: finished doing a first copy in a diff scope, subsequent backups will be differential

cron:

"/vmfs/volumes/C220-mailesxi02/xsibackup-dir/xsibackup" --time="Sun 18:00|Mon 18:00|Tue 18:00|Wed 18:00|Thu 18:00|Fri 18:00|Sat 18:00" \
--backup-point="10.1.1.2:22:/vmfs/volumes/V3700" --remote-xsipath=/vmfs/volumes/C22-mailesxi2/xsibackup-dir --backup-prog=onediff \
--backup-type=custom --backup-vms="MTA,MTA2,MAIL1!MAIL1_10.vmdk;MAIL1_11.vmdk,MAIL2!MAIL2_1.vmdk;MAIL2_2.vmdk" --disable-vmotion \
--options=unreg-xsibak

How can I make it able to do differential?

Re: no differential

Please, contact support, there's not much we can tell you without seeing the backup log.

Re: no differential

Support will contact you.
To know why your OneDiff backup is always reinstantiated, we need the full log, anything else from our part would be magic.
