vmbk.pl -c not creating .restore file

hello,

i started using vmbk.pl script , and i try to backup my vm to a mounted  nfshare , all the files are present but no restore script.

the vmbk version is 3.0.0rev 11

my backup command is :

vmbk.pl -x /vmfs/volumes/storage1/ipcop/ipcop.vmx -C /usr/local/bin/vmbk-default.conf -c

i also noticed that the vmx file is modified from the original and when i map the nfs backuped vm ,thevm could not start stating a missing file.

in the source vmx file, the vmdk pointer look like this :

scsi0:0.fileName = "ipcop.vmdk"

on the destination it look like that :

scsi0:0.fileName = "ipcop-000001.vmdk"

is there something missing?
