hello,

thank you for fast replay !

I think i did not describe accurate my situation:

- I want to move between compatible hosts( host B and Host C ) are 5.1
- I don't want to move VM from 6.7 to 5.1
- I want to move VM from HOST B( 5.1 ) to HOST C(5.1) using the XSIBACKUP PRO that is running in HOST A( 6.7 ). All the jobs are running remotely on B with remote target datastore on C.

Please correct me if I understood correctly:
- I must install XSIBackup Pro on 5.1 to be able for running remote job on HOST B and save to HOST C? I am not moving anything from 6.7, it is only running there

- If I run remote job on Host B and save also on B is ok
- If I run remote job on Host C and save also on C is ok

- my problem is when I want to run remote job on Host B and Save to Host C. Could be a problem of firewall from B to C? I says that the folder does not exist, but the folder exist.

I have the next situation:

HOST A: ESXI 6.7, XSI BACKUP PRO, HDD1 with /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir and {datastore2 on separate HDD2 for testing }
HOST B: ESXI 5.1.0,799733, /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir
HOST C: ESXI 5.1.0,799733, /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir

-enabled SSH and ESXI SHELL on HOST A, B, C
-all host with XSIDiff license registered on site

HOST A: ./xsibackup --link-srv=HOST B -> OK
HOST A: ./xsibackup --link-srv=HOST C-> OK

Execution:

- start XSI BACKUP PRO on HOST A with the next scenarios:

1. execute OneDiff local on HOST A with local datastore2 ( datastore 2 on separete HDD attached to HOST A )= OK
2. execute XSITools on remote HOST B and save to HOST B local datastore1 = OK
3. execute XSIDiff on remote HOST C and save to HOST C local datastore1= OK
4. execute OneDiff on remote HOST B and save to Remote HOST C datastore1 = ERROR
4. execute XSITools on remote HOST B and save to Remote HOST C datastore1 = ERROR

Error from log:
2019-03-15T08:57:56| The server --backup-point=HOST C:22:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/bak1 does not exist
2019-03-15T08:57:56| Make sure there is an SSH server listening on HOST C port 22 and that the firewall allows this connection

Remote exit backup job status: 314

Status:
- folder bak1 exist on HOST C

Questions

A. I must run on HOST B ./xsibackup --link-srv=HOST C ?
B. If I linked A with B and A with C, what is the relation between B and C ?

Jobs that I want to do :

Job 1: move with OneDiff all VM from HOST B to HOST C using remote jobs from XSIBACKPRO installed on HOST A
Job 2: backup all VM from HOST C to NFS Storage( FreeNAS ZFS2) using remote jobs from XSIBACKUP PRO installed on HOST A
Job 3: keep at the office HOST A and HOST C +NFS Storage , send on the field HOST B and execute the same strategy using VPN and a low amount of traffic using OneDiff

PS: if i managed to run a remote job from HOST A to HOST C and backup to HOST C local datastore, I am sure that if I attach a NFS datastore to host C it will work

best regards,
Alin
