Tried another backup but the same error happened.
I have no ERR-XXXX files on the datastore, and here is the mail content:

Mon Apr 24 10:29:30 UTC 2017
XSIBACKUP-FREE 9.0.1 AT HOST:
vmhost01.nti.lan
IP v4: 192.168.91.200/ 255.255.255.0
VMware ESXi 6.5.0 build-4887370


Done hot backup, using vmkfstools.
Available room in device /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Backups before backup: 817 Gb.

Available space in device /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Backups after backup: 469 Gb.
Complete backup elapsed time: 297 min

I noticed that on the shell, before ending, it says:
Error backing the ESXi host config to /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Backups
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Errors detected in backup, check logs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some warnings were raised
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe are there some problems in host configuration backup? What does it means?
Thanks!

Found it, it was in the datastore root, deleted now.

Host's NIC is an Intel I219-LM 1gbps, the switch is an HP 1810-8G.
Datastore NAS is a Synology DS414slim with 4 Kingston SSD SV300S37A240G 240GB in RAID5.
Backup datastore is a Western Digital MyCloud 2TB.
Don't know why is so slow.

Thanks,
Eros

I cannot find any .ERR-XXXX file in the xsi executable directory:
[root@vmhost01:/vmfs/volumes/58af7e80-1ea8c5c2-373f-e0071bfff7ad/xsibackup] ls -la
total 5136

-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root        939248 Feb 23 21:56 xsibackup-rsync

The speed slowness probably is related to the datastore config.
The VM storage is a Synology NAS with a RAID5 connected via NFS.
The backup storage is a single Western Digital MyBook 1TB also connected via NFS.
I don't have local storages on this host.

Regarding the error, do you think that I can safely ignore it?

Thanks again,
Eros

Hello,
i'm trying to use XSIBackup 9.0.1 on a ESXi free 6.5.0 (build 4887370) host.
The backup seems to end fine, but the mail subject is reporting "XSIBACKUP errors detected in backup job!!".
I cannot see any details in the mail body, where can I find these errors?

Below is a screenshot of the mail:

Many thanks,
Eros
