Glad to hear your data, no come back on me then ;-0
Forgot to ask, are you using full version of VMware ESXi Server – and have you seen the VMware ESXi hidden console a handy tool to have at your side.
I believe the  -flat.vmdk is hidden, or created at the point of backup, as it is the virtual equivalent of a physical hard drive, this is where raw data is written to.
As for copying it across I would say yes as it can always be removed if any problems
