I am trying to backup one of our virtual machines using the ghettoVCB backup script only I am having trouble to get it working with a few of our virtual machines. The problem is that I am getting the error below:
2012-03-02 11:38:26 -- debug: Snapshot timeout set to: 900 seconds
2012-03-02 11:38:26 -- debug: findVMDK() - Searching for VMDK: "/vmfs/volumes/4f3e30f2-d189ce30-b2bf-d4ae526ad5e4/dev1/dev1-000001.vmdk" to backup

2012-03-02 11:38:28 -- info: Removing snapshot from dev ...
If I now fix the problem of the -a parameter not being set correctly I am getting the following error:
DiskLib_Check() failed for source disk The system cannot find the file specified
It's working for me when I execute it the following way:
/sbin/vmkfstools -i "/vmfs/volumes/4f3e30f2-d189ce30-b2bf-d4ae526ad5e4/dev1/dev1.vmdk" -a "lsilogic" -d "thin" "/vmfs/volumes/nas_backup/wormhole/virtualmachines/dev/dev-2012-03-02_11-38-22/4f3e30f2-d189ce30-b2bf-d4ae526ad5e4/dev.vmdk"
What's the best way to fix this problem? Now it looks like its not picking up the right .vmdk file of the virtual machine???
