DC 1.4.0.0 error

While I'm almost sure that it wasn't any other job running, but I'll check tonight, this is the log. My thought i that the software should had to send the mail, but it didn't.

ssh root@myremotehost 'cd /scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC;./xsibackup --replica "VMs(myVM)" root@remoterepo.com:22:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/bkp --options=L --remote-path=/scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/xsibackup --use-smtp=2 --mail-to=user@somemail.com --subject="subject"' | /scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/ansi2txt > "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/DCxsibackup.log"

"ansi2txt" is just to strip formatting escape sequences.

Obviously the same command was running previously, before switching to 1.4.0.0, my point is about the mail not the behavior, relaunching from command line it started, but I didn't check previously for the ".locked" file.

The remote repository or replication directory is locked                                                               
This usually means that there's some process writing data

Check for a file named .locked in the root of it and if                                                                 
you believe it has been left there by some unfinished process,                                                         
you may delete it manually to allow new operations

Re: DC 1.4.0.0 error

Also, since yuu requested feedback, I launched it again from command line and progress is very inaccurate:

file 5/15 was 0.00% while copying, 6/15 started from 21.05, lasting same, 7/15 started from 21.05 and after 5 minutes is still at 21.05

Noticed that there there's no more "Details" row with real time progress.

Re: DC 1.4.0.0 error

You don't need ansi2txt with 1.4.0.0
Remove that pipe processing and try again.
The remote repo was locked, that means that previous process was interrupted, you should restart the replica or run --check on the remote side.
As per our tests progress is indeed accurate and shows detail, please remove the unneeded part and try again.
