Sorry for being dense but I am trying...
I guess I don't understand the relationship between rotate/prune and how to implement retention.
If I simply want to keep the last five days of backups can I simply run my backup (--backup) jobs with --rotate=5D? Would I need to worry about prune?

I switched to the --exclude="neth3_1.vmdk" per your advice and the manual but it still took a snapshot of the disk and appears to be trying to back it up. That disk is on another datastore from the "system" disk for this VM if that matters.

Warning: Newbie alert! OK, what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to exclude a vmdk.
./xsibackup --backup "VMs(neth3!neth3_1.vmdk)" root@192.168.1.20:22:/mnt/backup/xsidata --quiesce --remote-path=/opt/xsibackupdc/xsibackup
2020-09-09T03:17:26 | Error code 2194 at file xsibackup.c, line 2194 | Error description: could not find any VM in list: neth3!neth3_1.vmdk
If I run as:
./xsibackup --backup "VMs(neth3)" root@192.168.1.20:22:/mnt/backup/xsidata --quiesce --remote-path=/opt/xsibackupdc/xsibackup
...it runs fine.
Thank you.
Mike
