Perfect, thanks again for all your help I really appreciate it!

I guess I need to do some more reading as to how the CBT tracking works exactly.
How do I get the preview version? Happy to feedback any issues I might encounter!
And thanks for all your help and advice!

So with CBT all changes are tracked and kept historically for the whole time CBT is enabled?

I was using CBT when it happened, does this mean I should still delete and resync the whole VM still?
Side question: Is it possible to compress data during transfer as it seemed to me like SSH compression is off by default?

Well, least now you know 
(much like I do)
Ok I see. That's what I was trying to do if by what you call mirror disks you mean the mirrored data at the replica side?
I must admit I should of made a not of the error but I didn't, I'm pretty sure it was mid way through backing up too as I had to verify the xsibackup process wasn't present then manually delete the lock file.

Just to add though, how does it check the data without looking at the source data on the source server?

Ah figured it out, this worked for me:

Sure here you go:
root@dr0:/data/cbt_replicas# xsibackup --check /data/cbt_replicas/testvm/ --verbosity=10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIGTERM (11) condition was trapped: check logs for more details
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cleaning up...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing appears to be logged except in the kernel log I see the following (for example):
Jul 28 12:48:43 dr0 kernel: [443932.765980] xsibackup[41606] vsyscall attempted with vsyscall=none ip:ffffffffff600400 cs:33 sp:7ffd462c5fe8 ax:ffffffffff600400 si:73f691 di:0
This is on Debian 10.10... Does that help?

Hi,
So I was replicating just happily to a remote Linux server over SSH then I received an error during backup. As such I want to run the --check option to ensure my replica is good but it always seems to error suggesting the path I have is incorrect.
Should --check work over SSH? If so can someone give me an example of how to run it correctly?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that, in the end I decided to wrap xsibackup inside another script

Hi,
Is it possible to exclude VM's based on a regexp or similar?
I want to backup all my VM's except for a select few, just trying to find the easiest way.
Thanks in advance.
