Hi,

I installed XSIBACKUP-DATACENTER for testing.
Unfortunately I got a message on two servers right away:
"Trial expired. You may still backup VMs up to 100.00 GB manually to local volumes, Backups & replicas over IP are limited to 6 hours after each reboot cycle"

I can't afford to restart production servers, is there any temporary key to do backup speed tests between 2 ESXi free servers ?

Best Regards,
Robert

Works fine with XSIBACKUP-FREE: 11.2.8, you only need to add "-a" $ {ESX_VERSION} "! =" 7.0.0 "]" in the code.
I tested this backup, it works fine for me.

I am using the following job file:

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/XSIBackup-Free" \
--backup-prog=Vmkfstools \
--backup-point="/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/backup/$( date +%d%m%y )" \
--backup-type=custom \
--backup-vms="domoticz,omv" \
--backup-how=hot \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/XSIBackup-Free/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/XSIBackup-Free" \
--backup-prog=Vmkfstools \
--backup-point="/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/backup/$( date +%d%m%y )" \
--backup-type=custom \
--backup-vms="pfsense" \
--backup-how=cold \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/XSIBackup-Free/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

But I get error:
:-( Only --backup-prog=Vmkfstools is supported in (c)VMWare (c)ESXI 7 and above.

VMware Version: HPE Customized Image ESXi 7.0.0 version 700.0.0.10.5.5
XSIBACKUP-FREE: 11.2.9


Please help,

Best Regards
Robert

It works !
Backups are done correctly ("No errors detected in backup"), recovery from backup also works smile

Edit the code and enable at your own risk. What ESXi version are you planning to use?.

I will check and let you know if it works
Based on HPE ESXi (free) 700.0.0.10.5.0 (HP MicroServer Gen8)

Is there any chance to force backup, see if it works? I get a message:

"Only ESXi 5.X and 6.X series are supported. It will not work in previous versions of ESXi.
Compatibility with ESXi 6.7 is still under development, you can enable at your own risk, only local backups will work."

Hi,

I am using the XSI Free version 11.0.1, unfortunately in the following configuration in the job file, I have a problem with the parameter: --del-dirs=+7d (delete old backups than 7 days):

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/backup/$( date +%Y%m%d ) \
--backup-type=custom \
--backup-vms="domoticz,omv!omv_1.vmdk" \
--backup-how=hot \
--remote-xsipath=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/backup/$( date +%Y%m%d ) \
--backup-type=custom \
--backup-vms="pfsense" \
--backup-how=cold \
--remote-xsipath=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log" \
--del-dirs=+7d

What am I doing wrong ?

Best Regards,
Robert
