The VM neeeds to be OFF.
Yes, Exporting works the same via Web Client.
Basically OVA is contained in a complete single file, use OVA if available!

It would appear OVF/OVA is broken in vSphere 6.5!
So you have no choice but to download files manually, or use a Third Party Backup product - e.g. Veeam does have a free version.

So, all the files under the specific machine folder should be copied, correct ?
