Great tool, works very well. Support is super fast in response (2hours) and this on a FREE product!!

It works great on ESXi 6.0.

What if there are several disks on a different datastores ? seems like the script finds them all but cloning to the backup location only the last one found as the others are overwritten by it. if that's the case, then this is bad. correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks
