Hi Ben,

I did what you mentioned above. Yet it does not work in my environment. Could it be because I'm using the Hyper-V console from the destination host? The source host is server Core therefore it has no console.

I mistakenly copied the VM's to a USB attached drobo from 2008r2 and delted them from the host. What a mistake, Since I did no export.

I exported a new one and now see a structure and a couple xml type files. Two files and a file structure are missing from the ones I had earlier moved/copied out. Can I fake it to get them back? Looks like one file is easy but the other looks like a cab file with a familiar xml structure, but lacks info I cannot see that needs edit...

Hi Ben , Is there a way to use export onto a library server and later import from library server onto the host ?

Thanks

Hi Ben. It looks like a very useful solution. Unfortunately, I must export/backup VMs from various hardwares in a DMZ, so no domain is implemented.

If I try to add VMserverNAME$ as you explained, I am not able to complete the operation, since the object cannot be found :-( I supose because it is a workgroup environment :-((((

Do you have a workaround ?

Have a nice day

How to export to a Unix-based fileshare? — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 06:03:39 GMT

I want to export the VM to a NAS System which is Unix based, so I cannot use the description given here. I would have to set up an account on the NAS with the same User name and Password to make it work. How can I solve this problem?
