Hello,
I use XSI a while and everything worked good. Suddenly REGEX doesnt´t work and I get an error
Error NOVM2BAK: no VMs to backup
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Errors detected in backup, check logs
-------------------------------------------------------------
I look in the Logs, but there are no error, the file is empty, why that?
I have reinstalled the software again, but my problem is still.
What can I do?
I use VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-13981272 and XSIBACKUP-FREE 11.2.6
My Command is the copy from your website. ---> ./xsibackup --backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/NA202/xsi --backup-type=custom --backup-vms="REGEXP(^ubuntu)"
Regards
Helga

XSIBackup uses grep regex engine. Practice with it in the command line before using your regexp.
echo "Ubuntu-VM" | grep -E "^Ubuntu"

I practice with the command and your command is working. I have understood Regex
But now I have tried the same command on xsi Backup. But it is not working. I have an machine with ubuntu16 and the command looking for ubuntu. Why did my Command not find the VM. I did everything right
Regards
Helga

Sorry Helga, we didn't realize that this is a Pro feature, the REGEXP module is in the src/pro/vmsregexp file.

the man page (c)XSIBackup Classic man page
does not list REGEXP as an option exclusive to XSIBACKUP-PRO
You should update the man page accordingly.
