I've tried to install the latest XSIBackup-DC on a VMware ESXi 8.0.0 build-20513097 client, but when executing "./sxibackup" I get the error: "permission denied".
I've seen that the ESXi 8 version ist not supported yet, but I wanted to give you some logs.

Any ideas about this?
(c)XSIBackup is not compatible with (c)ESXi 8.0, we haven't announcd compatibility with it so far.
https://33hops.com/xsibackup-vmware-esx … -list.html
The reason is that (c)VMWare, in its obvious trend to turn (c)ESXi into a closed down propietary environment has blocked foreign binaries.
We plan to make (c)XSIBackup installable through a signed Community Supported .vib package which should remove the issue, but that will take no less than 6-8 weeks.

UPDATE:
According to (c)VMWare, Community Supported VIBs will no longer be allowed in (c)ESXi 8.0
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/76276
We have applied for a (c)VMWare partnership in order to be able to sign an eventual (c)XSIBackup VIB that would run in (c)ESXi 8.0
Nonetheless, this step fully depends on (c)VMWare's willingness to do so. From (c)ESXi 8.0 only software certified by (c)VMWare will run in their hypervisor OS (c)ESXi

UPDATE:
As per the information that we have been able to collect, It seems that ©VMWare has decided to block the execution of any binary not directly approved by them in the ©ESXi OS, thus continuing to progresively making ©ESXi a totally propietary OS with a full ban on third party binaries.

Hi, so there is no hope to have xsibackup on esxi 8.0?

We are preparing ©XSIBackup 2.0 which will be compatible with ©ESXi 8.0.
A beta version will be available in some days.
Offline
We have created an appliance: ©XSIBackup-App that allows to backup any ©ESXi server between 5.1 and 8.0
It allows centralized management of jobs in different ©ESXi servers.
There is a beta version available for download, we have already tested it up to some point with excellent results.
Download from here:
https://33hops.com/xsibackup-2-what-is-new.html
It lacks a GUI by now, thus you would need to use it from the command line.
Needless to say what we have published by now is a Beta version, use cautiously.
