APAR status

Error description

• Once the SLA policy is selected for any of its disk, this VM
  will always be backed up. Even if afterwards the SLA Policy is

  abc123.ibm.local)
  CTGGA0671 ,Backing up VM (IBM001) from remote proxy (IP:
  ww.xx.yy.zz Host name:ibm123)
  CTGGA2110 ,Will do incremental backup for VM IBM001
  CTGGA0496 ,Finished backup of vm (Incremental) IBM001 with
  status complete. Total bytes transferred 51.44 GB in 350
