sha1 hashes are different

Hello,

I just can't figure it out - I'm backing up 8 VMs - and on two of them I always get the error "ERROR (DIFCERT0)" "sha1 hashes are different".
It's no difference if from crontab or manually on command line.

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" --host=192.168.100.6 --backup-point="192.168.100.16:22:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/backup" --backup-type=custom --backup-vms="Tschonn-BH,Tschonn-VPC10,Tschonn-VPC7,Tschonnnb,TschonnS16Std" --backup-prog=onediff --debug-info=yes --certify-backup=yes 

In the log file (I could send the whole file via mail if of use) there are those entries (among may others ...):

Same for the VM named TschonnS16Std ... the others run without problems ...
I already deleted the backed up machines on the target ESXi (from inventory AND then directories), but nothing changed (of course except a longer runtime on first backup)

Help!
Thanx :-)

Re: sha1 hashes are different

I didn't change the crontab, and today - like any of the past days - the same two VMs weren't backed up, but today I got additional errors "segmentation fault" in the log that had not been here yesterday. So I went back in the logfile and realized that it hasn't been the first time for these "segmentation faults", but not every day. As always - the other VMs on the host are fine ...

What could be the reason, how can I fix it?
I already rebooted both hosts some days ago - to no avail.

Re: sha1 hashes are different

The key to your problem is on some other errors in your log:

packet_write_wait: Connection to 192.168.100.16 port 22: Broken pipe

This is self explanatory. The reason why it's always the same VMs that fail could be in some timely issue.
Split your backups into two and treat those two VMs in a different backup job. Try to back them up manually and see if you still get those errors. Try to find out if there is some automated job that brings the backup link down at the communications layer.

Re: sha1 hashes are different

Yes, but the broken pipe seems not to be the cause but the result, because its always within a few seconds after a line like "Info: transfering file"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2018-02-25T13:50:06|  packet_write_wait: Connection to 192.168.100.16 port 22: Broken pipe

So I tried to backup only one VM in one line manually from command line:

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" backupId=11 --host=192.168.100.6 --backup-point="192.168.100.16:22:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/backup" --backup-type=custom --backup-vms="Tschonn-VPC10" --backup-prog=onediff --debug-info=yes --certify-backup=yes

... but what is that - why is it using XSIDiff now (scroll down to the end) ... as I can read in the log file it never did before. The command reads "... --backup-prog=onediff ...":
