OK got it all working now
However, I am trying to backup a VM where the disks are thinly provisioned. So when it takes the snap and then does the backup it has to expand the file to it's full size and I end up with 3 VMDK files:
test.vmdk, test-flat.vmdk and test-000001.vmdk
if I blow away the VM and then copy everything back from the backup location it tells me that the test.vmdk is an invalid file. any ideas what is going on here?
