Error with esxibackup --info ?

Hi,
I have a fresh new default installation of DC. If I do esxibackup --info I get these 2 error messages :

PID: 2291957, Running job as: root
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2020-09-22T08:10:50 | Error code 3949 at file common.c, line 3949 | Error description: Provided path is not a directory:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2020-09-22T08:10:50 | Error code 7 at file info.c, line 7 | Error description:  is not the root of a repository
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas what the reason could be ?

Thanks,
Thomas

Re: Error with esxibackup --info ?

You need to pass a directory which is the root of a repository for [b][url=https://33hops.com/xsibackup-vmware-esxi-backup.html](c)XSIBackup-DC[/url][/b] to be able to run the [b]--info[/b] argument on some repository.

Please, read the manual, it contains examples and the explanation for each argument.
