We are using the free version of ESXi, which I know restricts the usage of the vStorage API. Could that be the issue?
I have tried everything. The backup location in question has been tested and vetted every way I know how.
On each of the VMs I am trying to backup to an NFS datastore hosted on a Windows 2012 R2 server, I receive the following error:
ERROR CLVMKFS1, details: [VM] error: vmkfstools error, details: Failed to clone disk: Input/output error (327689).
I have read another thread with the same issue and followed the advice in the last post. I have confirmed that I am using NFS3, and I am able to browse the datastore while in an ssh session, and can read, write, modify, and delete files in the path xsibackup is trying to write to.

What else can I provide or do to troubleshoot this?
Fresh install of XSIBackup 11.0.1 on a new host. Ran test backup job successfully, then tried to install cron and I get the following. It reports that it installed correctly, but there is no "xsibackup-cron" file created in the xsi-dir directory. ESXi version is 6.5.
