Mark,

FastSCP does a file copy while the VM is powered off. I’ve never tried to copy thin VMs personally, but I would guess that as long as you copy to the same version of ESX the files would be utilized the same at the new location. All I can say is try it and let us all know. You could also check the Veeam.com forums for anyone else’s experience there.

In our fully licensed version of Veeam Backup and Replication, you will be able to replicate VMs as thin in the next release later this month.

Is it possible to copy thin-provisioned vms with fastscp from one esxi host to another?

I guess using this on the ESXi 4.1 free, you need to shutdown the guest OS and do the backup in order to work…is there a way to schedule the guest os to shutdown and restart after backup?
Thanks
Martin
