Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to a method for performing backups of virtual machines on a host. The method includes obtaining a full image backup generation request associated with a virtual machine (VM) of the host; obtaining a list of files to exclude from the full image backup from the data protection manager; obtaining file system metadata associated with the VM; identifying an exclusion portion of the list of files; selecting a first file of files associated with the VM; making a first determination that the first file is included in the exclusion portion; skipping file data corresponding to the first file; selecting a second file of the files associated with the VM; making a second determination that the second file is not included in the exclusion portion of data runs; writing file data corresponding to the second file to backup storage to generate the full image backup.
