I can't manually hot-add one snapshot vmdk file to another VM.

Hi.

Due to a backup issue, (hot-add jobs fail over to network mode), Veeam support suggest me to try to add a snapshot disk manually.

I did the next steps:

- Take one snapshot.

- Edit settings of another VM.

- Add existing disk (Independent/Non persistent). (Selecting the vmdk generated by the snapshot)

Always the same error:

My VM's are located on a NFS 3 datastore.

Anyone have any idea about how to solve it ?

Thanks
