Hi

We have an issue with argument --del-dir :

- Here the backup job command :
"/vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE1/XSIBACKUPPRO/XSIBackup-Pro/xsibackup" \
--backup-prog=XSITools:z \
--snapshot=doquiesce \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/Q18AI15841_S4AUE736_Backup0/BACKUP/FULLDEDUPLZO \
--backup-type=All \
--backup-how=Hot \
--del-dirs=+15d \
--use-smtp=2 \
--mail-to=xxxx@xxx.fr \
--backup-id=1 \
--description="xxxx" \
--subject="xxxx" \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE1/XSIBACKUPPRO/XSIBackup-Pro/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

ok thanks

drubio@365it.fr · General matters

Thanks.

Must we check the deduped repository after that ?
With wich command ?

drubio@365it.fr · General matters

Thanks for your reply.
At this time, how can i stop the job "properly" ?

Will be a specific command to test the deduped data ?

drubio@365it.fr · General matters

"Outside is naming scheme"?
Can you detail please, i have followed the wizard UI since i had the pro version.

Here i the result :

Hi

This day, the backup is stuck.

The backup as not finished since about 10 hours, and the job logs dont have new line in here.

The ps aux in vmware show lines like this :

21942809 21942809 sh 21942809 User WAIT UWAIT 0-19 0.4195 /bin/sh -c "/vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE1/XSIBACKUPPRO/XSIBackup-Pro/jobs/1"
21942812 21942812 busybox 21942812 User WAIT UWAIT 0-19 0.2419 ash /vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE1/XSIBACKUPPRO/XSIBackup-Pro/jobs/1
21942815 21942815 sh 21942815 User RUN NONE 0-19 48047.649032 /bin/sh /vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE1/XSIBACKUPPRO/XSIBackup-Pro/xsibackup --backup-prog=XSITools:z --snapshot=doquiesce --backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/Q18AI15841_S4AUE736_Backup0/BACKUP/FULLDEDUPLZO --backup-type=All --backup-how=Hot --del-dirs=+15d --use-smtp=2 --mail-to=xxx --backup-id=1 --description=xxx --subject=xxx --exec=yes

Is it linked with the rotation "--del-dirs=+15d" or something else ?
What can i do for debug ?

At this time i must kill the process.

Thanks for your reply.

Both options prune the repository in Pro version.

Hi

We use xsitool:z with pro version.
I would like to have 15 days of backup retention but dont how this argument can help me, i explain :

* If i use --backup-room argument, it just checks there is enought place to do the backup job.
If more VM are installed, this will simply remove old backup. So retention will be lost.

* If i use --del-dir argument, il will remove older directory +15d, but will not prune the data and space.

How can i keep 15days of backup and clean the repo ?

Thanks

Thanks you for your reply !

HI

Just to know, how can we manage the maximum backup Retention ?
Is it mandatory to use a custom script with the on-success option ?

Thanks
