By identifying and backing up only those blocks that have changed since the last backup, CBT minimizes the data load and shortens the <a href="https://www.catalogicsoftware.com/solutions/vmware/">VMware backup</a> window, making it a crucial element for effective virtual machine management.</p> <p>CBT improves how backup data is identified and transferred; it does not turn a backup into a replica.
