Oh I dont know thought u need it or something.
I tried what you described there but it didnt worked.
Is that for the free edition of XSI too?
Or did I need change something?
My installation-dir is:
/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/
And my Backup Point is:
/vmfs/volumes/Backup/
Thank you for your help!
Hi,
I have a question. How can I add scheduled backups?
I've read that I need to add a cron job in
vi /install-dir/xsi-dir/conf/root-crontab
But what exactly do I have to enter there for the scheduled backups?
The backup should start every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2:00 am.
Could you help me with that because I don't really know how to do that.
I also tried "rsync" but got the same error.
So what you mean is that i had to configure a new VM with the same name and configurations?
Or how can I restore the VM when it is deleted?
Hey,
I've made backups of serveral VMs, but it seems that the backups doesn't work. The original .vmdk file is round about 30 to 100 GB but in my --backup-point the .vmdk file is only 1 kb. Is that right?
I used following backup commands:
./xsibackup --backup-point=ip:port:/path/to/backup/location --backup-type=all --backup-prog=xsitools:z
./xsibackup --backup-point=ip:port:/path/to/backup/location --backup-type=all --backup-prog=rsync
On both commands the .vmdk file is only 1 kb.
Now when I copy the files of the backup from the deleted VM back to my vsanDatastore I can register the .vmx file. But when I start the VM it display an error that says it can't find the files.
Can someone help me?

Hey,
do u want to make a backup?

OK thanks for the help.
I think I found the problem.
The problem with the error:
[VS001] CLVMKFS1 error: Failed to clone disk: File too large (1769481).
was that the host server allowed incoming communication with SSH but not outgoing.
With the problem with the error:
Could not get available backup room in backup datastore
Needed room: 0 Gb.
Sparse size: 0 Gb.
Available room: 0 Gb.
was that I put a "/" in front of the backup point, so:
backup-point=/ip:port:/path/to/backup
correct would be:
backup-point=ip:port:/path/to/backup
Thanks 4 ur help.
