Hi, Thank you Administrator for your quick response.

The way the guide was written, I didn't realize that a FDQN would work in place of IP address. I have already signed up for No-IP a while ago for this system smile

I appreciate your idea about the linux VM. I may go that route. I had though of it, but there is definitely an overhead in running one, however, at least my machine has 24GB RAM, so it shouldn't suffer too much.

I will experiment with that approach.

Thanks again!

I am trying to just back up one vm using the command like this:

--backup-vms="Nextcloud1" (I also tried without quotes)

Even if I have this option included, it always tries to back up ALL vm's, not just the one named.

How can I have it ONLY back up the one that's named?

Thanks
Morgan

* - I have made sure all spaces from vm names and file paths are eliminated

Hello

I have a remote macOS host with a very large RAID in my office that I want to make offsite backups to. My primary server is in a hosting farm and it is very expensive to add on external storage, not in my budget right now.

I bought the Pro version hoping to use xsitools, but I do not see how to do this.

I tried to find the source for xsidiff to see if I could get it compiled on macOS, but could not find that.

I have considered rsync, which may be slow, but you require a static IP for remote server. Mine is dynamic, with a dynamic DNS hostname.

What are the options for sending backups to a remote, non-esxi host?*

Thanks
Morgan

* You may say "read the manuals" but believe me, I have. As a new user to XSIbackup, I have read and re-read most of your blog pages. There is a bewildering array of options and tools, but no clear answer I have found to this question.
