I'm currently evaluating the product and have a few 400 GB VMs I need to test replication on. I have copied the initial replication to the USB drive and taken it to my COLO space, but I don't know how to get the files onto my datastore.
Has anyone else done this and care to share some pointers with me? I would certainly appreciate it!

Re: Initial Replication to Removable Drive
Hello Adam,
You may use both FastSCP and Datastore browser to upload your VMs to the target datastore.

Re: Initial Replication to Removable Drive
I have it connected directly to my ESX server but I can't seem to make it visible to the ESX server. I'm not a linux jedi unfortunately. It seems that would be the quickest way to get it over to the datastore, right?

Re: Initial Replication to Removable Drive
The USB drive is not visible, because ESX server cannot read NTFS volumes. You should use vSphere Client's Datastore Browser or FastSCP functionality (built-in to Veeam Backup and Replication) to copy files to the datastore.
