can't import replica

[dingding]

i have a replication job works well for days, today i delete the job and replica, but all files are intact.
when i use "import backup" to browse the file in the ESX, the error is: failed to import backup, unknown VBK format.

As per toolbar button name, import is only supported for backup files right now.

Hello Juan,

Replica import is not supported in Veeam B&R. You can only import backup files, however this won't allow you re-use imported backup files as destination targets for the backup jobs.

As to your problem, then in v6 we are going to allow to map replicas into existing VMs in the DR site.

Thank you.
