That seems to have worked, thank you.

Interesting though the xsi-dir/bin/xsibackup-rsync (the same path it listed in the error) existed and was executable.

Hello,
I've recently upgraded from free version to XSIBackup PRO, it seems like rsync backups to ESXi target stopped working with the upgrade.

When I run the following, I get rsync not found errors. Can I get help with this please?

[root@esx1:/vmfs/volumes/57be0e52-e4fc38bd-94c4-a0369fafcc38/xsi-dir] ./xsibackup --backup-point="esx2:22:/vmfs/volumes/das1:F" --backup-type=custom --backup-vms="myvm1" --backup-prog=rsync

...

Mirroring to server esx2 port 22
Checking Rsync exists on the other side...
xsibackup-rsync needs to be copied/updated in the remote server
mkdir: can't create directory '/vmfs/volumes/57be0e52-e4fc38bd-94c4-a0369fafcc38/': Operation not permitted
scp: /vmfs/volumes/57be0e52-e4fc38bd-94c4-a0369fafcc38/xsi-dir/bin/xsibackup-rsync: No such file or directory
Done!
