my first line is what it should be, but still doesn't work, so i don't see what is obvious. I bought your software and nothing works as it should. One diff = full only, XSItools = can't hash, XSIdiff = can't backup. The only thing i can do with your sowtfare is normal full backup. I tried on different server, with different ESXi, with different VM and everytime, something goes wrong. When i post, there is no answer but "you are the only one, deal with it".
But ok, thx for the joke.

HI,
i have this error when i lunch again onediff :
VMX file check 1 fail, details: first line in .vmx file is not [.encoding = "UTF-8"], has this file been manually modified/edited?
But when i check .vmx file :
/vmfs/volumes/59a686f4-234c75aa-ca39-001b214be630/debian # vi debian.vmx
.encoding = "UTF-8"
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "8"
pciBridge0.present = "TRUE"
pciBridge4.present = "TRUE"
pciBridge4.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge4.functions = "8"
So, is someone had the same error ? or know how to deal with it?
Thx.

The first backup doesn't do the 50M test.
The second backup does it and may throw the error if dd is acting weird (or if the VM has empty block at beginning).
When throwing the error it remove the vmx file that cause the reset of the onediff backup.
So the 3rd backup doesn't do the 50M test because it does nearly a full backup like the first one.
4th backup will raise the error, etc.
Hello,
I have the same issue.
I have one question about it. When i upload a VM with OneDiff, (the first real full), the average upload speed is about 1.5mb/s. But when OneDiff backup full again cause the 50M error, the upload speed is about 40mb/s. So i guess it doesn't really upload a complete full backup for real. Is someone know how it works ? Don't really understand what's goin' on?
PS : when 50M error occurs, i have this too :
sed: bad regex '/vmfs/volumes/59a55e51-23ebeea2-f574-001b214be631/****ISO***/debian-8.9.0-i386-netinst.iso': Invalid preceding regular expression
