I have a problem with multiple VMs and hyper-V replication, primarily on VMs with large files hosting backups or database servers with drives that see many changes like SQL Server TempDB. If the VM has hard drives I know are too large or get too many changes to support replication I do NOT include them (including VHDXs hosting paging files). However it appears Hyper-V STILL creates AVHDX differencing files on these VHDX files that are NOT part of replication and if the expected great number of changes take place, AVHDX files get large, and my host hard drives run out of space.
How do I get Windows to NOT create AVHDX files on VHDX files NOT included in replication to avoid this?
