 Now with this capability, for the same VM, two backups can run in parallel, but in either phase (snapshot, transfer data to vault) only one sub task can be running. So in scenarios where a backup job in progress resulted in the next day’s backup to fail, it will be avoided with this decoupling functionality. Subsequent days' backups can have the snapshot completed, while **Transfer data to vault** is skipped if an earlier day’s backup job is in progress state.
-The incremental recovery point created in the vault will capture all the churn from the last recovery point created in the vault. There's no cost impact on the user.
