Hi,

there are examples in the documentation at 
https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/Plugins.html#vmware-plugin
to restore to different VM name by passing plugin options like the following on 
restore:

python:restore_datastore=datastore2:vmname=testvm1restored:restore_powerstate=off

May it be that you are still using a VMFS 5 datastore?
What was the virtual disk size?

I've seen such an error message when the Bareos VMware plugin tried to recreate 
a VM on an VMFS 5 datastore
with a 80GB disk. Unfortunately that error message returned be the API is not 
very helpful as it does
not really tell the cause.

Regards,
Stephan

/*Since Version >= 22.0.0 it also backs up the VM configuration metadata so

What plugin parameters to pass to backup VM configuration metadata? Since I can 
only see the vmdk disk after the backup, I don't understand how restoring VM to 
another location happens. There is no mention of this in the documentation./*

I'm getting this output:

JobId 22:Fatal error: python3-fd-mod: Error creating VM, name testvm1restored,

    dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],
