Hi all,

Here is the background info:
- 2 sets ESXi 6.5
- xsibackup 11.0.1

I can successfully backup from 1 ESXi to the other IF the guest has no space on its guest name. However, for other guest name with space (e.g. "Ubuntu 16"), I have found that in the target ESXi, the vmdk file would be placed outside the target directory with the filename "Ubuntu" (it removed the space and character after).

Anyone has the same problem?

Thanks!
