xsitools backup failing

Hi,

My Xsitools backups have been working flawlessly for months now.
Suddenly today, it's failing with the errors shown below.
Do you have any idea what is going wrong here?

Thanks for your help,

lieven

Re: xsitools backup failing

That looks like a full or broken disk. This kind of message Input/output error usually means that the storage layer is not able to handle the request for some reason, as said, that usually has to do with full or faulty disks.

If the datastore /vmfs/volumes/Backup is some kind of external device (NFS, iSCSI) it could also mean some cable got disconnected.

Re: xsitools backup failing

Ok, sorry for the fuzz. Everything went back to normal. Probably a hiccup in the datacenter...
Thanks for your quick support!
