Patch 1016291 mentions that it
“Improves the performance of backup applications such as VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) on ESX 4.0.”
I’ve seen some reports regarding performance bottlenecks with products using the new vStorage API for Data Protection (both Veeam Backup and vRanger). I was not aware that VCB used this API yet (as of 1.5 u1). Does anyone out there know if this patch is intended to address the reported performance issues with the DP API?
On a related note, does VCB 1.5u1 actually leverage the new API, or is there a newer version that does?

Yikes. I wonder if this is not an issue for NFS based VMs.
