Everything seems to go OK but no snapshot is created therefore no backup is made. This is the output :
Vertical Backup 1.2.2 Trial license expires on 2019-02-10 esxi@192.162.58.1's password (leave blank to choose public key authentication): Storage set to sftp://esxi@192.162.58.1:2222/data Listing all virtual machines Backing up test.virtual, id: 3, vmx path: /vmfs/volumes/HD2/test.virtual/test.virtual.vmx, guest os: centos64Guest No previous backup found Virtual machine test.virtual is powered off Removing all snapshots of test.virtual No vmdk file found in '/vmfs/volumes/HD2/test.virtual/test.virtual.vmx'
Any clues??

It is looking for a line such as:
scsi0:0.fileName = "test.virtual.vmdk"
Do you see this line in /vmfs/volumes/HD2/test.virtual/test.virtual.vmx?

Yes, there it is! ¿Now what I have to do to get thing running?
gchen Jan 16 3:59PM 2019
Can you post the exact line here? I wonder why it couldn't find this line.

So it was looking for scsi0:0.fileName
but you have scsi0:0.filename
in your vmx file (note that case differences).
I uploaded a new 1.2.2 (sha256: 8751463059be231e3865a3623afd3412909afa4f19b160265233224e4059470b) which should fix the issue for you.

Hi,
I deleted vertical and download it again with wget. But I have the same checksum :
/vmfs/volumes/5997593e-e69021e4-2504-a820662820d8/verticalbackup # sha256sum vertical bbfdba7897b6b84ca000687e8703d281b2c058f5410d832d7e8c757532a1941c vertical
Where can I download the updated version?
Thanks,
gchen Jan 20 9:52PM 2019
Sorry it is my fault. I forgot to mention that this version can be only downloaded from http://acrosync.com/esxi/vertical.

Thanks! Now everything seems to be OK!
