Overall doing backups has lots of options and scenarios to cover and its tough, thanks for giving it a go, its great.

Few questions:

a.
why not follow the same format at PRO, example the "--backup-type=" and :"--backup-point"??
b.
Does DC support "--on-success=" serial backup jobs?
c.
I couldn't set rotation in DC like "--del-dirs=" from PRO
d.
Does DC copy the exec files to the remote host like PRO did? If yes, then which folder does CD try to copy the exec files too on the remote host? PRO uses ""/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \"
e.
What is with not supporting nested?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/!\ Running XSIBackup-DC in a nested host is not supported
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f.
In general I think that the job files should be yml format, it would help to when using editors to edit the code and submit the code to git repos.

DC:

Is it plausible to install xsibackup in a VM instead of on the esxi host?

Thanks

newmember · General matters

I think I purchased a few PRO licenses a few years ago.
May I download the current release of PRO?
I am currently on XSIBACKUP-PRO 11.2.3

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.

Here is what I did:

First problem you have to solve is with snapshot management. Snapshots cannot be deleted. That's an ESXi inner mechanism, so finding why it fails is your main concern.

There all appear to have been created by xsibackupdiff and can be deleted via cli.

[root@esxi-38:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.get 3
Get Snapshot:
|-ROOT
--Snapshot Name : xsibackupdiff
--Snapshot Id : 50

--Snapshot Created On : 3/11/2019 23:22:51
--Snapshot State : powered off
[root@esxi-38:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.removeall 3

You have this error on your log: Skipping invalid VM '20'. Its is indicating that your host's registry is not in good condition and that could lead to all sort of errors, including problems with snapshots.

I have been having problems several problems for a few weeks with xsipro not running as a cron task.
I uninstalled cron today from xsibackup gui
I installed con again today from xsibackup gui

I then ran start of this job from inside the xsibackup gui

This is the email report edited to remove some details in names.
How do I correct all these issues?

Thanks

The subject of my email after a job is run is
"✔ XSIBACKUP no errors detected in backup job | esxi-041-oneDiffBackup"

but the vms listed in the job have the following errors:

Last error raised for the above VM:
ERROR CLVMKFS1, details: [ARIASQL2008] error: vmkfstools error, details: Failed to clone disk: The system cannot find the file specified (25).

Last error raised for the above VM:
ERROR DIFQMSH4, details: [TMG] error: first 500M mistmatch [Director-flat.vmdk]

Last error raised for the above VM:
ERROR CLVMKFS1, details: [MAIL2013] error: vmkfstools error, details: Failed to clone disk: The file already exists (39).

Last error raised for the above VM:
ERROR DIFQMSH4, details: [confluence-ChrisW] error: first 500M mistmatch [confluence-ChrisW-flat.vmdk]

I am thinking that the subject of the email should read "many error detected yada yada"

Thanks

This is odd to me, I created the the job, ran the job and then when the cron runs the same job runs into problems.

When I run the job the first time everything is fine.
When the cron runs all these job errors appear.

I was reading the other posts for a maybe a common issue but maybe I have many issues? Maybe I have one big issue?

Your thoughts please.

This is a new deployment over 6 esxi servers
I had these issues consistently for a few days since I have set this up
#10 and #12 appear to okay
The rest of the jobs have different errors.

Is cron based on UTC or local time?

My time is scheduled for 11pm every week night.
It appears that the job starts at 44 minutes after the hour
