After going crazy 2 hours on host T410 seeing that the directory in question existed, I tried to create the folder / usr / bin / var / spool / mail on the target machine (192.168.175.8) and magically now the Replica works.
Very strange since the two machines are fresh install vmware esxi

Hello admin, to machine 192.168.175.246 xsibackup create the folder: look:
Created remote folder at 192.168.175.246:22:/mnt/data/alessio/Etica-Erp2014
if we check folder /mnt/data/alessio/ Etica-Erp2014 was created from xsibackup.
ssh is ok. target machine is ok.
Folder to destination machine was created but.. no replica starts.
Do you prefer contact on email support to perform a remote verification?
#10 Re: General matters » Repository or Vmdk native file » 2020-07-28 08:38:36
hi, I did these tests but the problem is exactly the same:
-I checked the exec permissions on the / root / xsibackup folder and they are correct.
- I checked the xsibackup executable on the remote machine and not for errors.
- I cannot find the /etc/xsi/xsibackup.log file on the remote machine
- I simply unzipped xsibackaupdc into root
I completely deleted the / mnt / data / alessio folder, now the folder is empty.
On the first run I get the same error and the replication doesn't start.
#11 Re: General matters » Repository or Vmdk native file » 2020-07-27 15:18:44
First of all, I would like to thank the admin for his timely support.
Unfortunately I had to rebuild my linux nas after a motherboard failure and now I get this problem.
the keys have been correctly exchanged.

hello, we ha 2 vm on our Esxi Host.
Source hard disk VM is Raid 10 (tested speed raid 300mb/s RW)
Destination another hard disk on mainboard (Seagate 1 TB 120 Mb R/W Tested with copy with bash esxi)
Same backup:
(Id)VM Name State Size (Gb) Stop Copy Start Time (min:sec) Speed (mb/s)
(13) T310.stu****.it ON 570.00/ 570.00 NO (hot backup) OK - 377:41 25/ 25
another vm
(16) Windows_DC2 ON 40.00/ 40.00 NO (hot backup) OK - 08:27 80/ 80
What can this difference depend on?
I analyzed the situation for days, there is no machine load or other threads or anything else.
different vm
raid the same
destination the same.
speed really different
#13 Re: General matters » Repository or Vmdk native file » 2020-07-07 14:20:38
Thanks for the quick answer.
now everything works correctly with the Root user.
I was convinced that providing the --remote-path xsibackup parameter would not look for or write anything outside the specified folder that had the correct permissions.
Instead as you reported in / etc / xsi this was the problem.
Thanks finally I am trying xsibackup Dc with replication and it seems to work as I expected.
great software.

Alessio

#15 General matters » Repository or Vmdk native file » 2020-06-25 13:48:08
- AlessioCalvio
- Replies: 12
Hello, I need to clarify some aspects:
I have been using XSIBackup-Free for a few months with a local backup and with Rsync backup.
I found the fantastic software to export my VMs to native vmdk format and was happy.
In recent months I found myself backing up a 700GB Windows Vm and I find myself with free software that backs up to about 22 MB from a raid 1 of the esxi server to another sata disk inside the server that we use as a spool data.
We need to have access to the vmdk files natively and to be able to archive them in vmdk format (this is a mandatory condition).
I proceeded to have a boost in the backup speed of the vm to buy the strong DC version of the support for the future esx7 and the fact that it was written in C.
I noticed from the first use that the repositories are in native and deduplicated format, this leads us to not be able to use the software as I thought.
Would it be possible to use the DC version to export a vm with a more effective algorithm and with a high speed and save it in native vmdk format even at the cost of losing compression and deduplication?
ultimately we could use the Dc with a FREE but with the features of a PRO (OneDiff or xsidiff)?
Thanks Alessio
