Situation - a replication job is failing on a large VM (580GB in size) it gets to 290GB then gives up with the error message listed below. Other virtual machines are fine and have replicated sucessfully. The VM is a windows file server (2003 SP2 standard)
Enviornment - Veeam backup 4.1.1. replicating from a san attached ESX 3.5 host (Virtual centre managed) to an ESX 4 host through a firewall
Veeam setup - replication job (via network with encryption) both with and without VSS intergration have been tested

Re: Replication failing on large VM
What's the size and block size of the destination datastore ? There might be a limit at 256gb per file depending on it, in case of 1mb block size.
