So because Windows 7 is still in Beta, Veeam FastSCP 3.0 does not support it, but it does not mean that you cannot use it.
While trying to install the application on Windows 7 beta you’ll get the following message.

To get around it you can use Winrar to extract the package and launch FastSCPSetup.msi file.
If you don’t have Winrar and don’t want to install it use command line to extract the content of veeam_fastscp_3.0.exe.
the syntax looks like this:
veeam_fastscp_3.0.exe /C /T:(full path)
The following example extracts everything to c:\temp\veeam

So yesterday I wanted to add permissions to a resource pool on ESX 3.5 but I could not do that because the option was not there.

That looked strange because I was able to do that on other ESX server that was running version 3.0.2
Apparently for some reason VMware removed that option starting version 3.5. so the only way to add permissions is to used Virtual Centre which of course you have to buy. Can I ask why VMware did that ?
VMware publishes Comparison of Storage Protocols white paper. There you will find comparison between NFS, Software iSCSI, Hardware iSCSI and Fibre Channel.
