Currently the Bareos VMware Plugin does not work when using
an NFS datastore.

The VMware KB-Article http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1020128 explains that

"For CBT to identify disk sectors in use with the special "*" change ID, these 
items are required:
 -  The virtual disk must be located on a VMFS volume, backed by SAN, iSCSI, or 
local disk."

The plugin currently implements Full backups using a CBT query with
the special "*" change ID as the only method.

Added the following FAQ article:
