V2i vs SV2i differences?

This issue has been solved. See solution.

I recently created a cold recovery point using an SRD via USB thumbdrive.

I saved it to an external USB HDD, and it created a single 8GB or so V2i file.

When I take that recovery point and try to convert it to VMWare workstation using BESR 8.5.5, it's looking for an SV2i file.

What did I do wrong here?
What are the differences between these two files?

Thanks!

 EDIT:  I think I figured it

 EDIT:  I think I figured it out...  Change the drop down menu from "Date," to "File system" or the like.

This let me choose the right file as a V2i.  However it seemed in the scheduled conversion, it wanted a SV2i.  A one-time asked for either.

I'll chalk it up to not paying more attention to the drop-down view settings.  Although, perhaps a GUI change is in order to make those options standout more?
