Hello,

I have just installed GhettoVCB on the following configuration:

2 hosts : ESX V4
10 VMs
Datastore type : iSCSI
Backup Datastore type : local

Tests done with a Window VM

The following command:

 ./ghettoVCB.sh -f vm_to_backup.lis -d debug  -g /ghettoVCB/ghettoVCB.conf

give the following result :

How to get more information about the error and why it does not work?

Thanks
