Abstract
Various systems, methods, and processes for optimizing the performance of a consolidated full backup of a restored virtual machine are disclosed. Changed data and metadata associated with the changed data is received from a hypervisor at a backup module. The hypervisor supports a virtual machine, and the virtual machine employs virtual disks. A confirmation is sent to the hypervisor from the backup module indicating that a full backup of the virtual disks has been created.
