Re: Question on VM_Backup_Volume path

Ok so I fixed the DISK_BACKUP_FORMAT and set it to zeroedthick and had already added +x to the script. That said i ran the backup again with the -d debug option and saw this:

The interesting fact is that it isnt finding my second datastore. My datastore is named "DataStore2" and is a 250gb HDD.

Here is the ls -l output for that specific volume:

lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            35 Jan 25 00:34 DataStore2 -> 507ad3ce-330ace48-8b91-50e54926850a

I am also still using the following backup path:

VM_BACKUP_VOLUME= -g /vmfs/volumes/DataStore2/backups

I have also tried the following backup path:

VM_BACKUP_VOLUME= -g /vmfs/volumes/507ad3ce-330ace48-8b91-50e54926850a/backups

Neither of these paths work.

I have also tried this by running the backup from the backup directory, still no dice.

Also just wanted to mention this but I am running the backup off of my first datastore where the backups are sent to my DataStore2

Im thinking there is something wrong with the data store, even though I can access and save things to it just fine.
