We are sorry you are having problems.
The Standard Edition of vBackup does work.
If you are getting an error similar to the following ALL you need to do is use faster storage for your backups.
[NFC ERROR] NfcNetTcpRead: bRead: -1
[NFC ERROR] NfcNet_Recv: requested 261720, recevied only 229376 bytes
[NFC ERROR] NfcFile_RecvMessage: data recv failed. retval = 3, expected 261720
[NFC ERROR] NFC_NETWORK_ERROR
Failed to convert disk: Operation completes asynchronously (0x300004650).
This error is reported by VMware VDDK and typically points to slow write performance on your backup storage.
An EASY way to improve write speed on your backup storage is to use compression, but yes, this requires either vBackup Advanced or Professional Edition AND this does not always do it. In some cases the write speed, even with compression, is not fast enough.
Another way to improve write speed is to use locally attached drives for your backup storage. This can be in the form of internal or external USB drives directly attached to your backup server. Using faster RPM drives and interfaces will always improve performance (e.g. 7200 RPM is better than 5400 RPM and USB 3.0 is better than USB 2.0).
