Kindly reply for the above error, how can i resolve to make the backup run from two(2) VSPhere Exsi 6.5 Servers.
I wanted to backup FileServer-VM (192.168.3.208) and MailServer-VM (192.168.3.205) running on Each HOST ESXI 6.5 to Backup Server ESXI 6.5. (192.168.3.201)
I tried all possible ways.
Even tried to run by cold backup, still unable.
I tried this Jobs

After XSIBACKUP 11, im unable to take backups correctly on 4th Server client location, im unable to convince them to buy, until smoothly function, currently im doing backup locally, after we get XSIBACKUP Pro, we will do on NAS Drives.
But currently i wanted to get his sorted out, wanted to know, how? since its new server, new installation 64 GB Ram 4 x 4 TB SATA HDD with 12 core processor.

QUESTION : STILL ITS CHECKING SNAPSHOT, CANT WE DISABLED IT, OR IS IT COMPULSARY, I DONT WANT THAT TO INTEREFERE MY BACKUP.
VMWare tools were not detected, the system will not be quiesced
QUESTION : DO I NEED TO INSTALL VMWARE TOOLS INTO DEBIAN, DOES IT HELP.
SINCE THE BACKUP IS GOING FINE, TILL END SUCESSFULLY, ALSO I CAN ABLE TO REGISTER SUCCESSFULLY, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE FINALLY THERE IS NO ERROR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT BEST I CAN MAKE IT TO RUN WITHOUR ERROR.
Thanks for your reply.
But this VM is running fine, its available on our ESXI Server, im not understanding what is really going wrong, i did not get this errors in Esxi Server V6.5 with XSIBACKUP 10, after ESXI 6.7 release and XSIBACKUP 11 release, since then or not sure, what is wrong.
I really wanted to get this working without errors, like i said...[mailsrv12] is running into my ESXI Server for which i wanted to take backup.
I dont wanted the SNAPSHOT to be done from your backup. I wanted to delete snapshot and start your backup.
How can i make it work, same way im getting error on File Server.
Appreciate if you can help me out of this to handover my job.

BUT WHAT I WANTED TO DELETE THE OLDER BACKUP AND MAKE ROOM FOR 1 BACKUP AS ONLY 1 DAY BACKUP CAN BE POSSIBLE HERE, BUT NOT 2 DAYS BACKUP, FOR WHICH I NEED TO INCREASE MY HDD SPACE.
But i done the backup by JOB 001 (IS THIS CORRECT)

Hello Im waiting for reply for above.
Its simple..earlier when i use cold backup it was not doing backup. But now im doing backup by WARM
Please note i always do backup into local path.
Now I sent you DF-H
is there any option to make more faster backup by adding or removing any parameters into below job
"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--certify-backup=yes \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/DATA/Backup/$( date +%Y%m'00000000' ) \
--backup-type=Custom \
--backup-vms="mailsrv12" \
--backup-how=warm \
--use-smtp=1 \
--backup-room=1500 \
--mail-to=itservice614@gmail.com \
--backup-id=001 \
--description="MAILSRV BACKUP" \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"
What do you mean by "will be switched off"?.
Is the e-mail server actually stopped to make the backup?
NO...because i given --backup-how=warm \ so it should not switch off until i give cold
I always do backups into Local Drive. --backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/DATA/Backup/
Below is DF -H
[root@sales-exe100:~] df -h

Thanks, but there is nothing running on this ESXI server, except email server, even that will be switched off and do xsibackup.
Secondly if you see the Path, im doing backup locally.
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/DATA/Backup/$( date +%Y%m'00000000' ) \
Is there any thing i can do in following job config to backup more faster
"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--certify-backup=yes \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/DATA/Backup/$( date +%Y%m'00000000' ) \
--backup-type=Custom \
--backup-vms="mailsrv12" \
--backup-how=warm \
--use-smtp=1 \
--backup-room=1500 \
--mail-to=itservice614@gmail.com \
--backup-id=001 \
--description="MAILSRV BACKUP" \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"
Thanks I used this following
"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--certify-backup=yes \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/DATA/Backup/$( date +%Y%m'00000000' ) \

--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"
and its taken 1 days if you see below logs in xsibackup, but still taking more than 24 hours, Im i missing again anything

Thanks for your reply, okay noted i will use same backup latest backup.
Im doing backup within Esxi Local Server Path, so there shouldnt be any backup over network.
Yes Agree, but im using Cisco 3560 Gigabyte POE Switch.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Please note, I downloaded & setup from Official website of VMWARE ESXi Build 6.7.
Next
Do you want me to change from 6.7 to 6.5 my ESXi Server, try?
or
What if i install the previous version of XSIBACKUP10, does it work with ESXi.6.7, if that support, please send me the link to subscribe and try?
Only one VM server running on each Server, and XSIBACKUP shutdown VM and does the backup, its taking huge time..
I have setup at least 10 Locations XSIBACKUP and its working fine as per the requirement.
But i dont what is the problem on this
DELL R710 64 GB RAM -12 Cores - 24 TB HDD, just for 6 IT it taken ages to backup.
HP ML 360 16 GB RAM - 6 Cores - 4 TB SAS HDD, just for 1.5 TB it takes ages to do backup.
Do I need to purchase XSIBACKUP PRO for speed backup, please advice the best solution or if someone can connect check, as my client requires the solution implemented asap, then next phase, wanted this VMs to shifted backup at a remote location on NAS
PLease help.

After uninstalling by removing directories
rm -rf /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir;
chmod 0700 /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root;
sed -i '/-dir\/jobs/d' /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root;
sed -i '/cron-init/d' /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh
I tried to install old version.
But i get following error

Hi,
can you send me link to subcribe for previous version please, so i can install and test the speed.
Hi,
I have Installed latest version of XSIBACKUP with cron job. Though it was tough to configure, however i managed to make it run the cron jobs, just for 1.5 TB it takes around 8 hours completed only 23% , on Dell Server(16 GB RAM and 6 Core Processor) and another Server Dell R710 with 12 Core and 24 TB hdd with 64 GB RAM, for File Server it takes 12 hours 28% still continous on local hard disk.
How can I uninstall all latest Installed XSIBACKUP and try with old XSIBACKUP Software, can i just replace the key and place with old software installation steps and try or there is something i can do on latest version of xsibackup to fast backup in local drive.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but its taking ages to copy one VM of 1.2 TB.
Thanks for your links. I have only one question, where im not to find though it may be there.
Im Sorry to ask you again, I wanted to Transfer Vpshere Host Faster from ESXI Server A to ESXI Server B, in that case.
Do I Need
- To Purchase XSIBACKUP-PRO
- Require any special command to make transfer faster
Because The transfer is in local area network only on Gigabyte Network.
im waiting for your advice, any solution to transfer faster from Server ESXI A to Server ESXI B
Thanks for your reply, that worked after many password required to enter, may be due the remote pc does not have XSIBACKUP, so it was created folders one by one after each password.
But just to copy 1.5 TB from SERVER A to SERVER B, it just finished 20 % on Gigabyte Network card & switch, how can i do fast transfer.
Can you advice?
