Hello,
I try testing vranger 5.3 - 5.5 the last 6 Months !!! . (had some issues before, not really happy with the program actually)
I Have a vm 4 Server 2008 VM's with 2 Disks, created by VMWARE Vcenter as abcd.vmdk on Datastore1 und abcd.vmdk on Datastore2. (As you can see both vmdk have the same name)
With this,VM's vranger is not able to Backup. Error 2800 - filter file contains the wrong number of blocks
I reported to quest, but No solution from Quest , only senseless Days!!! of debug logs.
Myself found out that with moving the vm to one Datastore, the vm get the name abcd.vmdk and abcd_1.vmdk. With this vranger was able.
Also when i move only Disk 1 to another Dataststore, disk 2 keeps abcd_1.vmdk and disk1 keeps as abcd.vmdk on different datastore, backup is possible.
So Hello Quest, you say this was only one "special" VM. Today i tried 3 different vm's. All VM's bringing this Error 2800 Filter file.....
So, maybe someone test @Quest:
Environement:
Vsphere 4.1 U3, Vranger 5.3.1 - 5.5 .
! Backup of Server 2008 VM's with 2 Disks ! , both Disk are on different Datastore and the disk files have the same name.
Backup Job with enabled Quiscing and CBT
What has really change since 5.2.1 ? Because this was the last error free version for me.
So, now i'm backup on DataRecovery > at least error Free for me with Quiscing and CBT!
You can imagine that i'm really angry and regret to pay another support year for this for me useless Software!
