Creating snapshots in a different location than default virtual machine directory

$

Dear All,

Lately we cannot take a backup of our VM on using VEEAM backup and replication

the error is Processing  Error: Skipping VM processing due to insufficient free disk space on datastore Data. 

I've looked on the Data Store of the VM which has a less storage and want to change default snapshot of the VM to a different storage.

we are using ESXI 6.5 and found this article regarding this.

Creating snapshots in a different location than default virtual machine directory for VMware ESXi and VMware ESX (100292…

 

however when I download the .vmx file of the VM I can't seem to find the workingdir. the below is the .vm file of the VM.

Can someone please advise how to fix this ? a big thank you all.
