I use as restore target a separate Server with W03 and VMware Server 1.0.6.
On this Server I will start the restored machine.
The Server shows the message by starting the vm “VMware Server cannot find the virtual disk “VMwareName-000002.vmdk”. Please verify the path is valid and try again. Cannot open the disk ‘VMwareName-000002.vmdk’ or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reasons: The system cannot find the file specified.

The restored machine has two hard disks.

How do you make the restore?
Are you using VMware Converter?

You have to use Converter to export in VMware Workstation/Server format.

Remember that VCB image is not ready to be used!

Install converter on VCB proxy.
Restore the files on VCB proxy.
Start converter, choose other (in source), choose your backup, then choose VI as destination.
