Hi Support,
I checked via ssh console with this command: "ps -c | grep cron" and this is the result:
3495628 3495628 grep grep cron
2484753 2484753 busybox /usr/lib/vmware/busybox/bin/busybox crond
so I have only one cron instance running.
I also performed the option you indicated to me via xsibackup interface and a messagebox is shown: "Current number of cron instance is 1, service seems to be running O.K."
But, it was a my mistake, I had set the scheduling parameters in this way:
* 2 * * *
therefore probably the job was executed several times, now I corrected the error this way:
0 2 * * *
and everything works properly! All backups are performed correctly and I receive only one email with the job execution report. ?
Fantastic tool, perfect for my needs, I recommend it to all vmware server administrators.?
Best regards
Hi Support,
I bought the pro version of XSIBackup and I'm testing it in the test environment VMWare ESXi 6.7.0 build-13006603.
I created a backup job and successfully executed it manually and I received the backup notification e-mail correctly.
Now, I have a problem when I schedule the backup job to run.
The backup starts correctly at the set time but 7 backup destination folders are created and I receive 7 backup notification emails.
For example last night, these are the created folders:
20190819020003
Virtual1
Virtual2
Virtual3
1566181593-XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX-config.tgz
20190819020904
Virtual1
Virtual2
Virtual3
1566182294-XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX-config.tgz
20190819021903
Virtual1
Virtual2
Virtual3
1566183141-XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX-config.tgz

20190819025904
Virtual1
Virtual2
Virtual3
1566185342-XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX-config.tgz
My job parameters are:
"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--backup-prog=Vmkfstools \
--date-dir=yes \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/syno.backups.datastore1/ESXI/VMs/N2/ \
--backup-type=All \
--backup-how=Hot \
--del-dirs=+4d \
--use-smtp=2 \
--mail-to=myhome.lan@fastwebnet.it \
--backup-id=00000 \
--description="Full VMs Backup" \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"
I checked in the logs, there are no errors and actually the backup seems to be performed 7 times.
Can you help me understand how to fix this situation?
thanks in advanced
