Hi
I try to setup a backup solution for two little servers running in ESXi 5.1. (free edition).
I installed and configured the ghettoVCB successfully and everything seemed to be ok.
However, when I start to create a backup, the process would terminate with an error :-(
It does not matter whether the server is on or off, I get the same result.
All datastores are local, 2 x WD500GB with plenty of free space.
There is no snaphot, nothing that could (in my eyes) prevent a proper backup.
The server is running perfectly, when switched on.
I would appreciate any helpful feedback. Thanks in advance! The log is attached.
