The ESXI is using an Intel on-motherboard NIC.

During the above backup the cpu triplet was approx. 39, 30, 37 -  The memory overcommit you mentioned was always 0.


The XSI Backups/restores to the myCloud get approx 10MB/s and less.

-------------------------------------------
Now I'm completely confused.
I just did a restore (same one I did before to the esxi ssd that took 8 hours)
I did it again from the myCloud mirror, but this time to the esxi's vmdata disk drive (not the ssd).

It processed at 63MB/s. Maybe there's a problem with my esxi's ssd. It's the common denominator with all the very slow backups and restores.

#2 Re: General matters » While restoring a VM other Windows VMs unusably slow. » 2021-07-05 22:23:15

I thought I explained the topology in previous replies. But here it is:
ESXI ------------- NAS
NET = 1gb, same subnet
ESXI = 3930K 6 core - 32G mem - SSD (spec 550r, 530w).
NAS = MYCloud Mirror, 5400rpm,

I think it may be the myCloud as the bottleneck (I'm going to do dd tests). I am also considering backing up in two phases (headache), by backingup/restoring from a network fast disk (repo on the fast disk) and then only archiving repos on the NAS. Basically what you talked about as the enterprise scheme. But I'm a bit concerned about the window of risk where the repo is sitting on a single drive without the raid 1 of the NAS.

I get what you're saying about XSI not affecting the contents of files (at least things like changes to a single data field - but corruption maybe). I'll change the .vmdk field in the .vmx to point to the most recent snapshot after restoring again and see if it comes up with more current data. Although there seems to be data problems as the ESXI UI under manage snapshots hangs when trying to enumerate snapshots, so there seems to be corruption ostensibly from the backup/restore as it was fine before the backup. That doesn't mean it's XSIBackup's fault, just that it likely occured during the backup/restore process.

#3 Re: General matters » While restoring a VM other Windows VMs unusably slow. » 2021-07-05 09:36:28

There is no raid controller nor raid controller cache on the ESXI server.
XSIBackup restore has restored it to a very old state (like a year ago). I had backed it up with XSIbackup less than a month ago. There were snapshots on it and it's like after restore the snapshots are being ignored and it comes up on the base revision of the vmdk.

#4 Re: General matters » While restoring a VM other Windows VMs unusably slow. » 2021-07-05 00:06:33

VM files participating in the restore are 71GB
All VMs (3) are running on ESXI on SSD on their dedicated host 3930K cpu, 32G ram.


Yes triplet parts were like .03 or less.
I don't recall overcommit numbers, but I'll watch for that going forward. There was no paging.

Now when I tried to bring up the restored VM it brought up a really old version of the vm. The XSIbackup backup was only a few days ago.

I did notice this backup has multiple vmdk's and snapshots. It's like it came up on the wrong one or something.

In the ESXI web console under manage snapshots it just hangs looking for snapshots.
The VM came up using JAKWEB_2.vmdk

Here's an ls -la of the vm files.

I'm now trying to create a new VM using an OVF backup from April 2021.

I was restoring a VM to the SSD from a repository on our NAS across our internal 1gb network. 3 Vm's share this SSD as their primary drive.
During the entire time of the restore (some 8 hours), our Windows server on another VM (same ESXI) was unusable. services wouldn't start. A command on the Window's UI or Windows command prompt (even just hitting enter) took 20-30 seconds to be even recognized.
Completely unusable.
As soon as the restore completed, the Windows machine returned to normal.

I ran ESXTOP.
CPU was low (surprised me - I expected it to be high).
SSD Disk was active, but not crazy high.
Network was high (between 70-90% utilization).

I'm obviously concerned, if I essentially can't have other VMs on the box functional when doing a restore.
Maybe I should nice the restore, but then it's going to take much longer.

#6 Re: General matters » Possible to backup esxi config without VM? » 2021-07-01 19:27:56

Ok thanks - so even though one backs up config with the --config-backup switch when backing up a vm(s), the backed up config isn't stored within the VM's backup hierarchy or attached to a vm in any way. The config backup was just created at the same time.

I guess it would be missing the source argument, something like:

./xsibackup PATH_TO_REPO --config-backup
But I'm not sure it will like arg 1 for the source being missing? Or maybe there's some appropriate placeholding null arg for Source?

I'm upgrading ESXI and am thinking I don't want my esxi backup buried with the backup for a specific VM.

#8 Re: General matters » Backup blew up after 30% » 2021-06-20 22:56:13

It worked to add a repo after the nfs mount point (/vmfs/volumes/NAS1/elevation_repo) to successfully backup and info the smaller VM (couldn't try my larger VM again because my trial just expired).

#9 Re: General matters » Backup blew up after 30% » 2021-06-20 07:18:35

More problems with --info and apparently the backup that said it was successful without errors.

I got the backup to work by outputting to a nas.

However after finishing the backup, when I try to do an --info on the repository. No matter how I escape the spaces in the path (double or single quote enclosed or back-slash escaped spaces) --info blows up. Apparently the code isn't passing the path with spaces as one unit.

>>> I renamed the mount to NAS1 to eliminate the spaces and --info now works. But it should really be able to handle names with spaces if escaped or quoted. Right?

Here's the output. I also included the original --backup command output afterwards:

Yes it is vmfs-5. Outputting locally to VMDATA (it is only 4% full). I'm trialing so I can only output to the local drive (my understanding).
It is backing up a smaller vm (80G thin) ok to same location. Made me think it was maybe your trial limit doing this. Thinking it may be something else I didn't want to just license the trial and have it not resolve the issue. Also when this failed, I tried to run a smaller vm backup and it failed with "out of disk space" error, even though there was still almost 4TB of space available (maybe out of inodes is throwing same exception). I could only backup another vm after deleting the repository from the failed backup.
Currently trying again with the ouput going to an nfs mounted nas.

I had been really excited about this software.

Installed fine, ran backup fine to local drive. Got 30% through the backup and errored out.
I'm running as root - /tmp is 777
/vmfs/volumes/VMDATA/data/33938929867210700.tmp does not exist.
/vmfs/volumes/VMDATA/data/ is root:root 755
