ID Description Workaround/Resolution
5877 The following error message has been seen with
various failed backups: No such file or
directory on special characters
There are restrictions regarding the characters
allowed in a file name when using a NAS target
using a CIFS share. If restricted characters exist
in a VM file, backup failures can occur.
According to the CIFS protocol, the following
characters are not allowed in file names:
“\”, “/”, “[“, “]”, “:”, “+”, “|”, “<“, “>”, “=”, “ ;”, “?”, “,”,
“*”
If a VM includes files that contain any of these
characters, there may be a backup failure when
exporting the VM to a NAS target using a CIFS
share. To avoid the backup failure, rename the
VM files.
The following VMware knowledge base article
contains instructions for renaming a virtual
machine and its files:

5309 Special character directory names do not display
the same as they did in previous versions.
When accessing the vmPRO import share from
CIFS clients, make sure that the directories and
the file names do not contain the following
special characters:
“\”, “/”, “:”, “*”, “?”, “<”, “>”, “|” and the quotation
mark ‘ ” ‘.
5094 Scalar LTFS character limitations can result in
the following SmartMotion error: No such file
or directory.
When using Scalar LTFS for storage, do not use

You can specify a wide character directory name
in the configuration file and the Recovery Wizard;
however, if the import target datastore is on an
ESX 4.X server, this wide character directory
name causes problems.
