How do I vMotion vmProtect appliance to new datastore?
I would like to vMotion the acronis vmprotect virtual appliance to another nfs datastore accessable by all my vmware hosts. When I try to do this I get these messages in the compatibility field at the bottom and it prevents me from clicking Next to complete the migration.

This is VMWare ESX 4.1 / vSphere 4.1
Any idea?

This was caused because Acronis vmProtect sometimes holds other vm disks hostage. The other vm disks were attached as hard disk 3 through 7 and they were pointed to snapshot disks for a virtual machine that was on this datastore. Once removing these disks from vmProtect, it was no longer listed under this datastore.

Ahh. Makes sense. Does this also apply with the current version?

Hi,
The issue described by KJSTech was present in vmProtect 7 until the 2nd update where there was not corret method used to read data from the backed up VMs which sometimes resulted in unwanted virtual disks attached to appliance even after backup is finished. These problems are no longer present since vmProtect 8.
Thank you.
