Unable to modify replication task when free space on destination host is less than size of VMs in the task

Thread needs solution

Using vmProtect 8 build 8.0.8128.
Free space required for replication task is counted incorrectly. It does not count existing replicas.

Suppose I replicate whole ESXi host. When the replication task finishes, there is not much free space left on the destination host. The replication task may run successfully again and again, but it's not possible to modify it because it does not count that existing replicas consume space on the destination ESXi host.

Insufficiency of free space should not prevent the replication task to be saved. There are plenty of ways the replication can run with no free space even. It's impossible to determine the free space constraints. If the free space is exhaused - the replication may fail and the sysadmin eventually will notice it.
