Forum ©XSIBackup: ©VMWare ©ESXi Backup Software

i got 7 esx hosts and until now am using the xsibackup-free for my backups I was thinking to buy the pro version but end up buying the DC version, my mistake, i was expecting to able to use ti as the PRO backing up until 20 host. I realize that the license is valid only for 2 hosts. That's ok this was my misunderstanding.

XSIBackup-Dc is great I love the philosophy and practical use of it.
I need some advice on what is the best practice of a server/client setup.
To be more specific here are 2 working examples that from my perspective have the same result, Store backup the  VM "vmhs-user" to "/vmfs/volumes/xsibkp145/esx89/".

so how the server/client feature is beneficial to my backup/restore workflow. What is the best practice of the server/client setup

Example1:
"./xsibackup --backup "VMs(vmhs-user)" root@192.168.7.82:22:/vmfs/volumes/xsibkp145/esx89/ --mail-to=my@mail.com --subject="7.89-82" --use-smtp=1 --remote-path="/scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/xsibackup"

Example2:
"./xsibackup --backup "VMs(vmhs-user)" /vmfs/volumes/xsibkp145/esx89/ --mail-to=my@mail.com --subject="7.89-82" --use-smtp=1
