Non-critical bug on restore over IP in 1.4.0.0 & 1.4.1.0

The restore routine does not truncate the virtual disks -flat.vmdk files to their nominal size when restoring them.

When some virtual disk has some closing footer, even if it's just one byte, the last block is backed up as "none zero" and the restore process completes without any issue. Nonetheless, when the virtual disk file has some empty area extending until the end of the file, the restore process just stops at the last non empty block and the restored VM can't be used.

The fix will be contained in version 1.4.1.1, contact us if you can't wait until we release it.
