Enviroment: NBU 6.0 MP4 on Windows 2K3 machine
 
We have a fairly large VMware shop in house for all of Windows boxes. To
back up these VM images, we end up taking tarballs of the VMDK files,
and dropping them to a Windows boxe with several large attached luns.
This works flawlessly...
 
But, we are going to DR here shortly, and we were hoping to just drop
the tarballs directly onto LINUX boxes running ESX. I can restore the
tarballs, but the restore comes up incomplete.
 
I see the following errors in our logs:
 
08:47:16 2/16/2007: Restore Started
 
08:47:17 (23828.xxx) Restore job id 23828 will require 1 image.

requested files.
 
When I try to untar the tarballs, I see the following errors:
 
[root at sbs09932vi001 restored]# tar -zxfv sbs09932vm031_11.tgz
tar (child): v: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: sbs09932vm031_11.tgz: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[root at sbs09932vi001 restored]#

 
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
