Backup/restort esxi 4 host with vShere CLI fails with "Restore failed: fault.MismatchedBundle.summary"

Well. Subject says it all.

Trying to put a backup from one (free) esxi 4 host to another. I a doing:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin>vicfg-cfgbackup.pl --server 172.1

7.7.12 -s c:\esx.txt

on one and:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin>vicfg-cfgbackup.pl --server 172.1

7.4.4 -l c:\esx.txt

on the other.

Getting:

The restore operation will reboot the host.

Type 'yes' to continue:

yes

Uploading config bundle to configBundle.tgz ...

Performing restore ...

Restore failed: fault.MismatchedBundle.summary

Exiting maintenance mode ...

Unable to exit maintenance mode: fault.RestrictedVersion.summary

Then I am trying:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin>vicfg-cfgbackup.pl --server 172.1

7.4.4 -l -f c:\esx.txt

Uploading config bundle to configBundle.tgz ...

Performing restore ...

And the host reboots. Am I then happy? No, because when the host comes up - nothing has been loaded to it.

Both hosts are patched to the same build.

Why this error and how to make it work?

Regards, Lars.
