Unfortunately what I'm being asked to do is NOT an option on the menu.
"convert your physical machines to the VMware Workstation virtual machines (P2V operation) and save their related files (like *.vmdk & *.vmx) on your laptop."
It's not an option when I convert remotely, it's only an option on the combobox if I backup my local machine. When I do a remote conversion of my Linux box, when I get to the destination options it doesn't allow me to select "VMware Workstation virtual machines" like it does if I try to convert my local machine. It's just not there. I was hoping I could do that, but its let not letting me which is the problem.
Could I have screwed up some settings or something?
