Error with differencing disks

Post by sminneman »

Hello, I have many virtual machines that all run from differencing disks, tied to a few parent disk images. When I try to back up these VMs, I get "Error: VHD extents can not be in different folders." Is this expected behavior? Is there any way I can work around this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott,

I'm now aware about issues around differencing disks that might cause this behavior. Have you had a chance to open a support ticket with our technical team?

Thanks!

I have not, I figured I'd post here first to see if this was something quick and easy. I'll go ahead and open a support ticket.
