Forum ©XSIBackup: ©VMWare ©ESXi Backup Software

Actually, I have purchased your PRO version and am using that. What I'm trying to achieve is to run the backup script that I have from a remote cron on the backup server itself (ssh root@esxiserver "/blah/blah/backups.sh") for various reasons outside of the scope of this topic. Sooo... perhaps instead of embedding the xsibackup routine into my backup script (which includes a couple of /bin/vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on and off - it shuts down another machine, not the one being backed up), I should include the vim-cmd in the xsibackup-cron job instead.

I'll try that.
