Thanks! Because of ESXi 8.x and up limitation and future proof, we would definitely like to go with v2 of XSI backup. We are planing to deploy XSIBackup-DC on 3 ESXi hosts. Appliance is installed on one of those hosts, from which we would like to do backup / restore tasks. VMs are not big, because we split tasks among more VMs.

I just wasn't sure about source / target position in syntax, and you cleared that to me, thanks! We successfully restored VM directly to ESXi via  /mnt/XSI/srvs/... (pull approach). Works like a charm. I need to test a little bit more, but soon we are going for a licensees.
Thank you for great product!

Hi,

I'm new with XSI backup and I'm testing v2. I managed to make an backup but now I can't find the right syntax for restore on another ESXi hypervisior.

Backup is saved in /mnt/warehouse/20230307114112/Linux-test (for backup I'm using storage on appliance)
ESXi where i want to restore it is on 192.168.0.5, and directory is /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Linux-production

Here is what I tried:
xsibackup --restore /mnt/warehouse/20230307114112/Linux-test 192.168.0.5:22/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Linux-production

but I get:
The restore target can't be evaluated as a valid path

P.S.
I did add host with xsibackup --add-host command


Thanks!
