For example, the backup of the virtual machine was done on a VMWare ESXi host with a VMFS5 datastore in VDDK backup mode, but the user is not attempting to restore the virtual machine to another VMware ESXi host using a VMFS6 datastore, and vice versa. | For example, the backup of the virtual machine was done on a VMWare ESXi host with a VMFS5 datastore in VDDK backup mode, but the user is not attempting to restore the virtual machine to another VMware ESXi host using a VMFS6 datastore, and vice versa. | ||
