#1 Re: General matters » The --backup-point string is a mandatory value » 2019-04-26 15:21:06

Hello people.
I have the same problem. Works fine with all the parameters but does not recognize some parameters via the job/001 file or conf/smtpsrvs.

./xsibackup --run-job=001  - Results: "The --backup-point string is a mandatory value"

./xsibackup --run-job=001  --backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/nas02-bioener/besx1- Results: Backup ok

In both cases, i receive the message:


E-mail Warnings

The --mail-from string has not been set
The --smtp-srv string has not been set
