Hi
Recently, I moved a vm from vmware workstation to my esxi 8 server and it is working fine. But when i want to take backup it shows an error: cannot find layout information for disk 3000 and backup fails. Would you please help?

Re: cannot find layout information for disk
Hi Reza,
Thanks for your post, however, sounds like a technical issue, so please open a Support case as is required when creating a topic. Please include logs from the affected job for Support to be able to review; use the 1st radio option, select the job backing up that virtual machine, and then complete the export.
Please note in the case as well that you had done a migration from Workstation to ESXi, as the migration process may be relevant -- you might want to check the disk sizes in the vCenter/ESXi host UI and see if the sizes are full integers or if they have fractional sizes (e.g., check that the disks all show as 10 GiB, not 10.112929292 GiB or some other value with decimals. If this is the case, expand the disk by 1 GiB so it shows as an integer, then try the backup again)
But if all looks good with the disk sizes, a Support Case is the way to go.

Re: cannot find layout information for disk
Hi Daniel, welcome to the forums.
Regrettably the topic creator (tc) never responded back so not sure if a case was opened.
So please open a Support case as is required when creating a topic. Please include logs from the affected job for Support to be able to review; use the 1st radio option, select the job backing up that virtual machine, and then complete the export.
Also please check on the point I mentioned -- it should be a pretty fast check and sometimes is the culprit, but there can be other causes. If the non-integer size is not relevant for you, then please continue with a Support case as requested.
Thanks!
