Thanks a lot!

I've found the issue. bad permissions on ../xsi-dir/xsibackup_id_rsa. Was 0640 must 0600, so the file was inaccessable.

Now the backup is working fine.

After updating to the new Version I get the massage at the remote host:

#4 Re: © OneDiff » Backup hung up after taking snapshot » 2017-04-26 10:18:27

OK, thank you.

I have three hosts running 6.0.0

My strategy was to backup all machines to the 5.1 host, but can I "backup in a round", so that I mirroring Host A to B, B to C and C to A?
Is it a good Idea, or should I ugrade my 5.1 to 6.0 so that i can use it as a central-backup host?

Job:
./xsibackup --host=192.168.0.2 --backup-prog=onediff --snapshot=excludememory,dontquiesce --backup-point="192.168.0.12:22:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1" --backup-type=custom --backup-vms="Zabbix" --mail-to="edv-service@sh-landestheater.de" --img-list="https://sh-landestheater.de/media/bilder/_layout/sh-landestheater-logo-2010.gif|none|none|none|none|none" --use-smtp=1

Backup source is ESXI 6.0.0 and backup target is 5.1.0, is that probably the problem?

paths on both machines are standard.

Snapshot is taken successfully

Hello,

I'm trying to make a onediff-backup. In testmode everthing seems to be alright.

Here's an extract from the mail:

--snip--
TEST MODE ACTIVATED REMOVE --test-mode=true TO MAKE A BACKUP

Done hot backup using onediff (no compression)
Mirroring following VMs to 192.168.0.12:22:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1...
VM Name    State    Size    Stop    Copy    Start    Time (min)    Speed (mb/s)
Zabbix    ON    45G    NO (hot backup)    OK    -    0    2477
Complete backup elapsed time: 0 min
--snip--

If I want to take a backup, the Programm hang up after taking the snapshot.

Greetings
Torsten
