Can anyone look at this log and help me understand why I get a failed error message.
I can mount the newly backed up machine with no issues.

I have tried changing VMWare secondary servers, reloading and changing NICs.

Here is the log file. Sorry so long scroll to bottom error is: 2020-02-19T09:22:02|  [win10] CLXSIDF1 error: file transfer error:

what file failed to transfer? and why is the backup image bootable.

Ty for looking at this.

I purchased XSIBackup Pro. I would like to license xsidiff. It says to upload a request.key. How do I create a request.key to upload?

I did try searching for the last 1/2 hour. Apologies for a simple question.

I ran the following commands you suggested. I see the process ID. When I try to remove it I get "no such process" I run the grep again and it finds it again.  Any help if very much appreciated.

Under xsibackup "watch jobs" I still see an idle job.

ps -c | grep xsi
2120766  2120766  grep                            grep xsi
[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/5c6d965e-06c56856-9c4e-9c8e99594c16/xsi-dir]

I have this same issue. Posted it as Ghost Jobs. Did you ever get this resolved? How?

Recently my backups started failing. If I open xsibackup pro and select "Watch Backup Job Activity" I see a scheduled job in there. Problem is I have no jobs setup. I don't have cron installed. I don't have anything scheduled.

I couldn't figure out why I had 2 jobs schedule so I removed my schedules, deleted my jobs, uninstalled cron.  The job was still there! I uninstalled xsibackup and reinstalled it fresh. Still if I open watch backups jobs there is a job in there. I have looked at root crontab and nothing is scheduled.

I did run jobs manually. I did have the free version before buying Pro.

So currently I have a job in xsibackup running idle. I can not find it to delete.

Any advise where to look would be appreciated.
