I think I was able to fix the problem by following the workaround instructions. I used busybox from a hypervisor running ESXi 5.5. I will know for sure after the scheduled backup run tonight.

I just took over administration of XSBackup Pro running in our environment and found that is has not worked at all for some time now. When I access ESXi host on which it is installed and try to run it I get the following error:

./xsibackup: line 429: syntax error: unexpected newline

It seems that this ESXi host was updated from version 5.5. to 6.5 a few months back and this might have been what broke xsibackup.

Here are some details:

ESXi host is running VMware ESXi 6.5.0, Build 13932383, Update 3

XSIBackup installed on this host is XSIBackup Pro version 9.1.8.

BTW, line 429 of xsibackup file contains the following:
<html>

Any assistance in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated,
