It is possible to export a vm bigger as 5 TB?
We have a vm with many virtual drives and need to backup as ova file. Since this demands a lot of space I had mounted an nfs directory in the host but get next message after try to export ova: Error whle executing action: Cannot export VM. Invalid target folder: /mnt/shared2 on Host. You may refer to the engine.log file for further details.

Hi Miguel, Firstly, you can backup your target VM by the backup tool. Then, you can export VM as you want. This is a perfect solution maybe you can try. If you are interested in the back tool , I suggest to you the Vinchin Backup & Recovery. Hope you solve your question soon. thanks
I had solved this problem by making a copy of the hard drives to another storage domain, this is the way we follow up. The backup tools are implemented as a plan B for backups. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks to your log post, I was able to identify the proper place to find information about the export process. OVA exports don't fail for me, but result in empty disks, which is perhaps even worse. Two things I can suggest: Try with a new and smaller VM to see if it's actually a size related issue or due to the fact that e.g. the number of disks in an OVA export are limited. The other is to make do with an export domain, which seems to work fine and might have less issues with OVA file format constraints: Don't know if you just need the backup or want to migrate...
I got the same result from an export domain. I'm trying to get this as a backup procedure.
