You can't backup to the very same datastore where your production VMs are.
Offline
do you mean by the drive where backup is store? what does backup point mean?
I am able to detect space on other server which used the same datastore. I only have one drive so do you mean I will need to get one more drive for the backup?
Offline
Yes. Backing up to the same disk is not backing up.
Offline
but in my other server when i start the job it end with clone100% and I can see backup files in the backup point
