Hello,

I have an issue with a backup of a VM with multiple Snapshots.

Backup process gets stuck at some point with the output as follows:

(c) XSIDiff 1.1.1.4 licensed:
A full file copy will be performed, no meta-data available
Reading from file /vmfs/volumes/nas-01-SSD/vm1/vm1-000007-sesparse.vmdk
Writing to file /vmfs/volumes/backup01/xsiBackup/201812-xsitools/20181206191512/vm1/vm1-000007-sesparse.vmdk
Set input file offset to 0 bytes
100.00% done
Time taken: 19 seconds
Speed 228.16 mb/s
Overall speed 228.11 mb/s
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should I expect to have the backup completed after some time ?

The job cmd is:
./xsibackup \
  --backup-point="/vmfs/volumes/backup01/xsiBackup/$( date +%Y%m )-xsitools" \
  --backup-prog=xsitools:z \
  --backup-vms="vm1" \
  --backup-type=Custom \
  --test-mode=false \
  --exec=yes > backlup.log

In the VMware VMs folder there a among other VM files the following files:
-rw-------    1 root     root      559.2M Dec  4 08:43 vm1-000001-sesparse.vmdk

The last one seems to be still updated (at least the timestamp changes) but the size not.

Any comments ?
