I see.  I am currently just testing everything so my repository is sitting on a vmfs.  Could it be that the file limit has been reached?  Would that produce this error?  I also have a feature request.  When I encounter this error, the completion/status email isn't sent.  Is it possible to send an email stating that the backup didn't complete?

As for the /tmp folder, does xsibackup use the [install directory]/tmp or does it use the default ESXi /tmp?  If it is the default ESXi /tmp, as my boot disk/partition is much smaller than my data drive, it is possible that it is full too.  Is the required space simply the compressed vm(s) or is there more that is temporarily stored there?

Thanks!

I've got a linux vm running in ESXi 6.5.  I've removed all snapshots and the vm appears to be running well.  While doing a hot backup, I get this error message while backing up the flat vmdk: 

Error code 333 at file dedup-in.c, line 333
Error description: can't open temp block file: [repository directory]/data/122320458052002154.tmp

I've tried removing previous backups for this vm, repairing the repository, and backing up again but i'm still receiving this error.  Would you have any tips on how to solve this?

Thanks!
