Using disk manager 5.1?

I just got my first backup completed, but I couldn't use the (I Think?) recommended version 5.5 of the VMware disk mount utility. It said it wasn't compatable with my 32 bit Windows 10 system. Version 5.1 seems to work, though. Is it OK to continue on with that version?

Version info:
Server Platform: VMware ESXi 6.0.0 3620759
VMware Virtual Disk Manager: VMware Virtual Disk Manager - build 774844

End result:
Backup verified.
Backup added to inventory.
Existing backups (including current): 1
Process Completed: 8/4/2016 11:57:31 AM
Elapsed Time: 7 minutes and 56 seconds
Backup Size: 16.00 GB

Thanks.

Re: Using disk manager 5.1?

You should be fine with 32-bit Windows and VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) 5.1.4 for both VMware Virtual Disk Manager and VMware Disk Mount as long as you are running VMware vSphere 5.5.x and older.

We recommend 64-bit Windows, VDDK 5.5.4 for VMware Virtual Disk Manager and VDDK 5.1.4 for VMware Disk Mount. If you run into any problems please try this configuration.

I am running ESXi 6, but my only available system for running your software is 32bit Windows 10. Do you think that will be a problem?

Every environment is different and requirements vary. You might say that this is not optimal, but if it works go with it until you can get a 64-bit machine in place.

Hope this helps.
