6.0.2.144 in trial mode protecting a 2008r2 machine and exporting to Ubuntu running Vbox 5.
Originally this went perfectly. The initial export was really long (over 24 hours) but the machine created and booted perfectly. It continued to update after every hourly snapshot and continued to boot when tested.
Last night I changed the protection interval from every hour to every 12 hours and the next scheduled export failed with this error-
Command '/usr/bin/vboxmanage --nologo createvm --register --name "VMNAME" --basefolder "LINUX DIRECTORY HERE" --ostype Windows200864 --uuid "a07c71d4-6a3a-43c9-8c0c-dfa7a461658d"' has failed with error '1' and returned the following error output: VBoxManage: error: Machine settings file 'LINUX DIRECTORY/VM_NAME.vbox' already exists VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOXEFILEERROR (0x80bb0004), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports VBoxManage: error: Context: "CreateMachine(bstrSettingsFile.raw(), bstrName.raw(), ComSafeArrayAsInParam(groups), bstrOsTypeId.raw(), createFlags.raw(), machine.asOutParam())" at line 272 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp
Cannot execute an export task
One or more errors occurred.
I researched this error and it was suggested that I delete or rename the vbox file which I did. I then forced an export which started and ran for a bit but eventually failed with this error-
Exception chain:
File at index 1 is not the parent of file at index 0 - Unique Ids don't match
The operation with VHD virtual disk failed
One or more errors occurred.
Any ideas what caused this or how to correct it?
