Hello,

I'm using free editions of Thinware vBackup and Esxi 6.0 but I can´t get vBackup to backup my virtual hosts from Esxi.

Below I send console log and backup log. Thank you in advance for your suggestions on how to fix this.

The error you are getting is "Can't create connection". This error is from VMware Virtual Disk Manager (part of VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit).

It looks like you are using VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) version 6.0. VDDK 6.0 is very buggy and actually VMware Virtual Disk Manager in VDDK 6.0 does not even work. This is why you are getting the " Can't create connection." Error.

Try installing and using VDDK 5.1.4 and 5.5.4 (together) and you should be good to go. The vBackup Administrator's Guide covers the install of VDDK 5.1.4 and 5.5.4 and using them both at the same time with a single vBackup implementation.

The reasons for using both version of VDDK are:

1) VDDK 5.1.4 is provided in an installer which will automatically create all required registry settings (VDDK 5.5.4 requires that you create the registry keys manually)
2) Installing both versions allows you to use VMware Virtual Disk Manager from VDDK 5.5.4 and VMware Disk Mount from version 5.1.4.

Also, to further explain, the version of VDDK that you use is dependent on the solution using it (vBackup in this case) rather than the version of ESXi you are running. The current version of vBackup was built around functionality available in VDDK 5.1.4 and 5.5.4 so it is not utilizing any newer functionality that would be available in VDDK 6.0 (if it worked properly).

Hope this helps.

I managed to find the 5.1.4 and the 5.5.4. installed the 5.1.4 then extracted the 5.5.4 into same folder. then pointed thinware to the bin folder of the installation but now i get this error instead of the one the others have posted:

Failed to convert disk: Cannot connect to the host (0x4650).

Tips:
- The 'VerifySSLCertificates' registry key is missing resulting in a default setting of 'SSL certificate verification enabled'. To resolve this, add the missing registry key (name: VerifySSLCertificates, type: REG_DWORD, value: disabled = 0|enabled = 1). For VMware Virtual Disk Development 5.1.x and earlier this key should be located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit'. For VMware Virtual Disk Development 5.5.x and later this key should be located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VMware, Inc.\VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit'.
- SSL certificate verification is enabled and one or more errors were encountered while trying to verify the host server's certificate. To resolve this, add the missing registry key (setting it's value to 0) as indicated in the tip above or correct the certificate verification error(s) by installing a valid CA-signed certificate on your host server and installing a valid CA-signed root certificate on your vBackup server.
