Nothing in error.log
backupdb.log shows weirdly 2 VMS in state 0, and wrong disk information.

119950258054909614;7786094;--backup;ProxMox;none;0;/vmfs/volumes/5e353c17-badd082c-1082-b02628bae9fc/ProxMox/ProxMox.vmx;/vmfs/volumes/
119950258054909614;7786094;--backup;securitycam;none;0;/vmfs/volumes/

Email report:
uc?id=1Suwy9HGRcH6Xt-AdHM0Uc1jqKP4MKlrq

Two VMs from above have disks of size 40Gb, and VM Tools not installed.


I dont know if this is related, but snapshot were being removed for that particular VM correctly, when backup command was defined only with that single VM.

That(problematic) task is executed with single command and 11 VMs defined.

//Edit

The issue is probably not replated to "--quiesce" but I will take a change to ask - should all vms be "--backup" with "--quiesce" ?

There were no any snapshots. Also email report is "green", and no errors in logs. I do not use "--quiesce", only "backup" and "exclude". This VM runs MSSQL, and here : https://33hops.com/xsibackup-using-backup-programs.html , under OneDiff it says to use "quiesce" for database servers?

What could be next steps to solve this? Is deleting those snapshots safe?

I noticed that just for one VM ( out of 20 ), XSI has not erased taken snapshots:

s1

Each disk got 2 snapshots, from 2 backup jobs that run:
s2


For every other VM, "xsi" snapshots are being removed after backup is completed.

What can be causing this? Are they safe to remove and merge through vsphere?

All (c)XSIBackup-DC and (c)XSIBackup-Classic versions can handle disks transparently, no matter where they are stored in. There isn't any limitation in that regards. Disks will indeed be collected from wherever they are and placed in the same backup/ replica folder.

Nonetheless, we offer a fully featured trial version that you can fully try before buying.

Just wanted to know if these disks override each other, since they have same names. That happened to be the thing in the classic right?

Hello, how do DC handle multiple vm hard drives stored in different datastores? For classic I read that these must be moved to the same place to avoid naming issue. Is this matter handled differently on the newer version ?
