VCB uncompressed disks

Hi there!

I'm using the latest version of VCB, and using vcbMounter.exe to back up a virtual machine using the "-M 1 -F 0" options.

However, when it transfers the disk, the progress bar reads:

Converting "e:\mnt\apvl1\scsi0-0-0-myvm.vmdk" (compact file)[/b]:

0%=====================50%====================100%

The vmdk file that is produced is indeed a monolithic file which is the same size a the original virtual disk.

Is the "(compact file)" simply a typo, or is VCB doing some compression despite me explicitly telling it not to?

I hope this information helps you. If it does, please consider awarding points with the 'Helpful' or 'Correct' buttons. If it doesn't help you, please ask for clarification!
