I removed the other copy on the other datastore and made sure there are no other data anywhere that can be in any way related to this VM and it still failed with the same error.

Any idea where to look next?
There are no snapshots, the datastore directory of the VM is well below 50 GB and so says the ESXi web GUI.

There are no garbage files.

The du command shows 32.8 GB of files in the VM folder, and listing the folder including hidden files shows the same result.

I did however have a copy of the VM in another datastore folder but not registered as a VM if that could have an effect?

I removed it and created a job for just that VM to test and it's running. I'll see next week if my weekly backup works as expected.

Hi!

I'm using XSIBackup-Free 1.5.1.9 and I am using cron scheduling. Every week when the backup runs I get an email informing me that all VMs were successfully backed up but one.

This is the error:
· windows10vm: 2022-03-28T06:21:48 | Error code 3920 at file xsibackup.c, line 3920 | Error description: XSIBackup-Free allows to backup VMs up to 100.00 GB

The VM in question has one thin provisioned hard disk assigned, with the size of 50 GB.

I don't understand why this VM is triggering a 100 GB size limit error since it's way less than 100 GB. Were do I look to diagnose and fix the issue?
