Replication job fails with InvalidDatastoreFault

[jreid]

We are trying to replicate between two VMware environments but the job fails with the following error...

Completing current object backup process
InvalidDatastoreFault: Invalid datastore format '[HIVEDR-LBBG0]
VeeamBackup/Lon04(vm-143)/Lon04.vmx'.

The source is a vSphere 4.0 environment and the target is a ESX3.5 environment.
Have tested this in a lab and it works fine???

Any ideas.

Many thanks

Jason, can you please shoot full logs from Help | Support information to support@veeam.com for investigation? I have not seen such issue reported before.

Jason, on a second thought I think I know what the issue is - you are replicating down from ESX4 to ESX3.5 and this is not supported due to different virtual hardware versions. ESX3.5 is simply unaware and thus cannot handle VMs of the latest hardware version (created on ESX4). Replication in another direction should work fine though.

No problem, thanks for the reply.
Two thinsg for reference.
First is I got it worng it was in fact esx3.5 to esx3.5.
Second on the second pass it worked so looks like its not an issue now

Many thanks

Jason
