Hi,

Is there any way we could check the integrity of the backup?

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

We have found out that when we use the --rotate option in our backup, the blocks will be missing after the first rotation

Our command we used is

/scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/xsibackup --backup "VMs(ALL)" user@remoteserver:22:/nas/xsibackup/all --rotate=4

After the 5th run which will perform a rotation by removing the oldest backup, the blocks will be missing.


Is there anyway we can rotate the backups safely?

I tried to restore locally but also encountered can't find blocks in .map file.

Is there anyway to recover the data file? It is happening to all the current backups too

Thanks for the response.

I tried to check and realise there are many missing blocks. Does it means that the backup was corrupted to begin with?

Hi,

We are trying to restore a backup over IP. However, we encountered Segmentation fault without any other error logs.

./xsibackup --restore root@backupserver:22:/nas/xsibackup/weekly/20230723150052/VM1/ /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/RESTORE

We are performing backup over IP and when we use the "VMs(ALL)" parameters, it backs up successfully.

However, when we change the param to selected few VMs, the backup hangs at the first VM at around 85%.

The command we are using is 

/scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/xsibackup --backup "VMs(vm-1, vm-2, vm-3, vm-4, vm-5)" user@remote-server:22:/path/to/backup/vm/ --rotate=5

Our EXSI version is 6.7.0 Update 1

My apologies, missed out on your question.

We are using CentOS 7 in the remote system

I'm using version 1.5.1.11.

I've tried with root user and got this error when restoring. There were no issues with the backup

Backup over IP does not have any issue. However, when I tried to do a restoration with the backup folder, it return Segmentation fault in the console.

/scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/xsibackup --restore xsibackup@host:22:/xsibackup/host/20220328165750/VM1 /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/restore

There is no other errors in the logs too.

Thanks

Let's say we went with the --backup over IP option. Does --rotate parameter works with backup over IP?

The backup on the remote server would be NAS storage and the VM would not be switched on unless restored to the source server.

Is replica still applicable in this case?

Does --rotate parameters work with backup over IP?

From what I understand, when backup is done over IP, it will create a folder with a timestamp and backup into the folder.
However, I've tested --rotate=1 or --rotate=1D but the old backups does not get removed.

Our aim is to backup over IP and to remove the old backup folder everytime a new backup is being executed.

Please advise if this is possible

Thank you
