- Migration operations trigger a backup job as part of the migration process and might take up to several hours to complete for large VMs. When you move the VM Backup Item from Standard to Enhanced Policy, it triggers a backup as a precautionary measure.

Subsequent snapshots are incremental and take only the delta changes to disks since the last snapshot.
