If you go this way you have to specify the snapshot vmdk as the source or you will loose all data on this snapshot.

NAS devices are no block devices and therefore the "-d thin" is not useless You are going to clone the virtual disk to a NAS device.The steps you mentioned will not work this way: Why don't you just shut down the Exchange server and commit the snapshot?

If you dont have a Datastore with enough space you can setup a Laptop together with a external USB Disk and setup Starwinds iSCSI Software within minutes and present a iSCSI Target to your ESX(i).

Vmkfstools -i /path/toold/vm/foobar.vmdk.

I am of course headed out of town for a week and am hoping the 30GB i have free will last while i'm gone but will keep you posted along the way. Looking to the pros for a good solution/order to tackle issues in. Will this snapshot commit with this little free space? if so, how given that vsphere client shows that there is no snapshot? I do have a 1TB NAS device (that does NFS) but it's mostly full with other vm backups including the only good backup of server B that i'd prefer not to wipe. I'm running very low on space (30GB free) on the datastore. Vsphere client does not show that there is a snapshot, but browsing the datastore, it's there Somehow there is a snapshot on this disk that is 196GB (that does have some needed stuff on it) Server B (Production File server and Production Exchange server): Server A (Blackberry Server, not totally important and have a good backup, worst case I could rebuild without too much pain) looking for advice on best way to fix it. Through a series of bad luck and automated tasks, here's where i'm stuck.
