Hi,
I just bought the DC-Version.
I have 3 Vms to backup,
2 of them were backedup like expected, but not the third.

    NUMBER                                                         FILE
    SIZE          PROGRESS
ESC[90m-------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------ESC[0m
^M    1/21                                                    Heimbas.vmx
   2.90 KB    ESC[90m|ESC[0m Done   0.00%
ESC[90m-------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------ESC[0m
^M    2/21                                          Heimbas_0-flat.vmdk
        [skipped excluded]
ESC[90m-------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------ESC[0m
^M    3/21                                               Heimbas_0.vmdk
        [skipped excluded]
ESC[90m-------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------ESC[0m
^M    4/21                                                   Heimbas.vmsd
  44.00 B     ESC[90m|ESC[0m Done   0.00%

The initial-backup of the 200GB VM took 12 seconds. Similar VMs takes 4 hours for the initial backup.
It seems like the disks are skipped (skipped excluded) but why?

I am using ESXI 6.5 and XSIBackup-DC 1.4.2.3.
Its executed via gui with all default parameters.Target is a nfs drive.

What's the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Regards
Fabian

Hi,
after creating backup sometimes the mail is sent successfully, but sometimes (I didn't touched anything) emails were not send. The log shows me:

The backup-job is exactly the same in these cases.

Ideas?
Thanks in advance

Thank you so much. The Usb-Storage was vmfs6 and the host fs was vmfs5. I formatted the storage with vmfs5 and it works now.
Thank you smile

Hi,
I've tried to create an incremental backup with oneDiff.

After creating the second backup (first incremental), I get an error:

[dummy] error DIFDELAL: error deleting all snapshots VM [dummy_XSIBAK] Id 31, details: Remove All Snapshots:
Remove all snapshots failed.

If I try to start the backup-vm I'm also getting an error. Even removing the snapshots with the web-ui fails.

The error message while starting this vm:
"Fehler beim Einschalten der virtuellen Maschine dummy_XSIBAK. Dateisystemspezifische Implementierung von LookupAndOpen[file] fehlgeschlagen" - "Failed to start the vm. Filesystem specific implementation LookupAndOpen failed"

cat dummy_0-000002.vmdk gives me the same CID like the Parent-CID.

Can anybody help?
