Hi!

I just started using XSIBACKUP-PRO. I did a backup from one ESXi machine to another ESXi machine. Both machines run ESXi 6.7.0 Update 1 (Build 10302608) and are new machines.

I get two different kind of errors which I do not understand:

error: SHA1 chunk hashes check failed

and

error: failed to update the block count

The first error I get for all machines that are backed up, the second error I get only for some machines.

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Hi!

I am a new user of XSIBACKUP-PRO. I created a backup job using the GUI and choose XSITools as the backup-prog. When I start the job and watch the backup job activity I see some lines indicating that not XSITools but rsync is used. Is this the expected behaviour?
