Veeam FastSCP on ESXi 4.1: “API version on the server does not allow CreateDirectory operation” -> Upgrade to 3.0.3
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/08/13
Last week, I wrote Veeam Backup and Replication on ESXi 4.1: “Input string was not in a correct format.” -> Upgrade to 4.1.2
I was partially wrong in that Veam Backup FastSCP 3.0.2.270 did not work: that the alternative is Veeam Backup and Replication 4.1.2.
Well not completely: Veeam Backup and Replication 4.1.2 works, but a day after they released that 4.1.2 version, they also released Veeam Backup and FastSCP 3.0.3, which works too.
And of course they released it about half a day after I wrote the above post :-) Read the rest of this entry »

Veeam Backup and Replication on ESXi 4.1: “Input string was not in a correct format.” -> Upgrade to 4.1.2

I’m in the process of moving the VMs on my ESX 3.5 box to an ESXi 4.1 box (so I can get ESXi 4.1 installed on the ESX 3.5 box).
I tried copying over the files using the free Veeam Backup and FastSCP 3.0.2.270, but that obviously does not work well:

Veeam Backup and FastSCP
—————————
API version on the server does not allow CreateDirectory operation
—————————
OK

The free FastSCP works on a file by file base, but that won’t cut it.
Hoping the licensed product would work better, I registered for a trial of Veeam Backup and Replication (it is version 4.x in stead of FastSCP which is still 3.x).
The registration process went swift, but I was just a tad bit too early trying to run it against VMware ESXi 4.x: Read the rest of this entry »
