We have a local ESX cluster and a remote ESX cluster that we replicate to. We backup some VMs with VMware Data Recovery locally to a local storage repository. What I'd like to do is copy those backups (the VMwareDataRecovery directory) to a remote repository and import them into a VDR at the remote location.
I tried copying the directory over and when I started VDR at the remote location, it recognized it had changed and imported everything in. I tried doing a restore rehearsal of one of the VMs, but it keeps failing. Below is the log I'm getting.
Does anyone know if this should work or why it's failing? Is there a best practices for doing something like this?
