vmdk files are not able to be updated through delta/block updates when being synced

Hello VMWare and Community,

 

I sync a VM which is run through Fusion and Workstation across 3 computers on my home network. My question stems from the following:

 

-When I start and run the VM and immediately shut it down after it has booted (Win 8.1), I'm noticing that my sync software does not ever make updates to the vmdk files through block updates but rather always copies the entire file.

 

So my question then is does Workstation/Fusion make so many changes within these files as to the rendering of block updates impossible when it comes to syncing? Is there something I can do to make this not the case. My hard drives are compressed as yet another means to make the syncing process not take so long. Does this present a problem as well for this?

 

Thank you for any and all feedback/comments.
