Hi, thank you for your reply.

Backup syntax used:
/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup --restore-vms=2
16.111.92.68:22:/vmfs/volumes/Edial_2/backup_il-esxi-01/bugs feb

/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup --restore-vms=2
16.111.92.68:22:/vmfs/volumes/Edial_2/backup_il-esxi-01/build5vm

The backup is over a WAN. I'm not sure the exact throughput, but it seems very slow.
I will try the backup again tonight and capture the full output.

During a remote restore, I received the following 2 ERRORS for 2 VM's

1.[bugs feb] - Note - space in machine name
2.[build5vm]

The restore path /vmfs/volumes/datastore1, does exist on my esxi box where I am launching the command.
It contains 2 other VMs, and I am trying to get the remote backup VM il-build7 restored to that path.

[root@hk-esxi-01:~] cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1

Your comment about slashes prompted me to test the command adding a / at the end.
Now I don't receive the bad path message, but it's KILLED after rsync error.
Here is the output:

root@hk-esxi-01:~] /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup --restore-vms=21
6.111.92.68:22:/vmfs/volumes/Edial_2/backup_il-esxi-01/il-build7/

Thank You . I executed the code. Here is the output.

[root@hk-esxi-01:~] if [ ! -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1 ];then echo "Not a direct
ory";else echo "Path is a directory";fi
Path is a directory

I'm not sure where, why or how the remote path is appended with /config in the line

'ls: /vmfs/volumes/Edial_2/backup_il-esxi-01/il-build7/config: No such file or directory'

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks again for your help.

Jay

Hello,
I am attempting a restore from one esxi to another.

When I enter the following backup command on the esxi I want to restore to, I get an error in the output about not being a local folder, but it is?

hk-esxi-01:# /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup --restore-vms=216.111.92.68:22:/vmfs/volumes/Edial_2/backup_il-esxi-01/il-build7
