How to restore ESXi backup to different hardware

$

Hello community,

I did a ESXi configuration backup from CLI using the following command:

 

vim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/backup_config

 

Now I would like to test the backup, so I installed the same ESXi version on VMWare workstation. Same version and same build: VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-8169922

 

But when I try to restore I got:

 

vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

vim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/restore_config /tmp/configBundle.tgz

(vim.fault.InvalidBundle) {

   faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,

   faultMessage = <unset>,

   text = "Missing Manifest File"

   msg = "Received SOAP response fault from [<cs p:00000039b9877570, TCP:localhost:8307>]: restoreConfiguration

fault.InvalidBundle.summary"

}

 

Is there a way to restore that configuration so I can test it in another machine?

Thank you
