I need a solution

As most of us have now realized...FP3 changed the way backups of Hyper-V VMs are down with the new "fast processing" mode.

If you have not read the following thread and would like to get some backgrond:

All well in good.  My backups *do* seem to be faster and do not appear to have any issues...except for one thing:

When it comes time that you need to expand a disk or do any type of "edit", that persistent checkpoint gets in the way!

I had to do this just today (expand).  I had to use the powershell commands (well documented in the referenced thread) to get rid of the checkpoint so that I could do the disk edit.

Am I doing something wrong?  The checkpoint reall are supposed to stay "forever"? Surely one is not supposed to edit the checkpoint file to expand... ?

Anybody else running into this?
