Good afternoon,
I have a error when the procedure try to backup a ESX server:
I have read the Knowledge Base Article where where we refer to VMware KB to change the "blocksize datastore", sorry but I work in "working environment"....
I have try to exclude the SERVER2003_1.vmkd, but I have not understood if is possible exclude or not this file.
I await your comments, thanks.

You can exclude a single .vmdk from the backup, however its not recommended... Have you selected the VMs via the vCenter or the ESX node ? If the former, do you get a successful backup when selecting via the ESX node ?
