Hi,

I am a bit confused about "backup-point" and "remote-XSIpath" Are these two the same? Previously, in the older version, there was no remote-XSIpath.

Thanks!

OK. The install file was missing. I forgot to copy that file. It is now installed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I tried and it unzipped this time but when I run the command "chmod 0700 install && ./install", it says "No such file or directory" Here is a full listing that it went through. I even see that it has created a folder XSI-DIR. Something is wrong with XSI. Previously, this has worked like a charm.

Hi,

I am having trouble installing. It stops after download and says "unzip: invalid zip magic 20656854" Attaching the entire message for reference.

Thank you!
Ken

Another question...How do I set it up such that it backs up once a week? What is the argument for that? Right now this is what I have and it backs up every day.Thanks!

Thank you! That was it! It needed --smtp-sec=TLS argument plus I changed the port to 587.

Hi,

I am seeing this error in the logs:

530 5.7.57 SMTP; Client was not authenticated to send anonymous mail during MAIL FROM []
2017-11-20T07:18:59|  Firewall rule SMTPout-25 closed.

Here is my syntax:

--mail-from=abc@company.net --mail-to=abc@company.net --smtp-srv=smtp.office365.com --smtp-port=25 --smtp-usr=abc@company.net --smtp-pwd=Goodluck!

Thanks!
