#1 General matters » Last VM is not getting backuped » 2019-02-21 10:27:53

Hi,

I have an issue with XSIBackup FREE 11.0.1
If I configure four VMs (--backup-vms="VM1,VM2,VM3,VM4") to be backed up, the last VM will not be backed up.

A workaround is to add an additional "," at the end of the "backup-vms" list. (--backup-vms="VM1,VM2,VM3,VM4,")

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/datastore2/xsibackups \
--date-dir=yes \
--backup-type=custom \
--backup-vms="VM1,VM2,VM3,VM4" \
--mail-from=<email-from> \
--mail-to=<email-to> \
--smtp-srv=<mail-server> \
--smtp-port=25 \
--smtp-auth=plain \
--smtp-sec=TLS \
--smtp-usr=<mail-user> \
--smtp-pwd=<mail-pass> \
--backup-room=1500 \
--smart-info=yes \
--subject="ESXi Backup Report: Daily 1" \
--description="ESXi Backup Daily 1" \
--backup-id=Daily1 \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

Does anyone else have the same issue?
I'm running XSIBackup Free 11.0.1 on VMWare ESXi 6.7

Best Regards,
Corvin

Hi,

has the smart-info feature been changed?
Because since upgrading to XSI-Backup 11, I no longer receive smart infos via email

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/datastore2/xsibackups \
--date-dir=yes \
--backup-type=custom \
--backup-vms="<VMs>" \
--mail-from=<email-from> \
--mail-to=<email-to> \
--smtp-srv=<mail-server> \
--smtp-port=25 \
--smtp-auth=plain \
--smtp-sec=TLS \
--smtp-usr=<mail-user> \
--smtp-pwd=<mail-pass> \
--backup-room=1500 \
--smart-info=yes \
--subject="ESXi Backup Report: Daily 1" \
--description="ESXi Backup Daily 1" \
--backup-id=Daily1 \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

I'm running XsiBackup FREE 11.0.1 on VMWare ESXi 6.7 free

#3 General matters » xsibackup-free (11.0.1): on-success / on-error | Chained backup? » 2018-09-24 06:42:22

Regarding to the Documentation on-success and on-error are xsibackup-PRO features, but regarding to the new cron job they are included in xsibackup-FREE and can be used for chained backups.

I've tried to use the --on-success / --on-error switch but the chained backup didn't start.

Can someone explain if the features are included or not?

Best Regards,

Hello,

first I would like to thank you for the new and improved XSIBackup Free Version smile

But unfortunately I have the following issues with the new Version.
Is takes about one minute to start the xsibackup process.

The reason seems to be that the program tries to reach 188.165.2.135 on tcp.port 80.
The ESXi has no access to the Internet.

Hello,

I want to use the rsync function of xsibackup to migrate my VMs from one server to another.
While running the xsibackup script, I get the following message:

"NOTICE: you are using ESXi 6.5.0, it contains some bugs that make it highly recommendable to use
XSIBACKUP-PRO's option --certify-backup. You can also check files manually by using OpenSSL command"

Does anybody know HOW to check the files with OpenSSL?

Best Regards,
CorSch
