Hello,
Im using ghettoVCB to backup my running VMs on same datastore. But when i wanna copy backed up VM, even if its in thin format, to my desktop running Win 7, size of file is same as size of virtual disk (backing up 2GB VM, used is 1,2GB, copied file is 2GB).
So i used Converter for exporting VM from VI to .ovf to my desktop. And if something goes wrong, ill import it back. But you cannt export running VM.
So i wanna used backed up unregistered copy of VM created by ghettoVCB to convert it to .ovf using OVFTools.
Is it somehow possible? When i try convert it with direct path to backup VM vmx, error: Error: " Locator does not refer to an object vi://root@IP/backups/wordpress/ " appears. Thanks for help.
Im running ESXi 4.1 update1
