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

Re: Replication job fails with InvalidDatastoreFault
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.

Re: Replication job fails with InvalidDatastoreFault
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.
