There exist new features in ©VMWare ©ESXi 8.0 that hinder the possibility to run software not certified by ©VMWare. Nonetheless there exist some workarounds that allow to run newer ©XSIBackup editions without any restriction. This applies also to running any other software able to run in ©ESXi 8.0. The post below will offer you the clues. use with caution. Run ©XSIBackup in ©VMWare ©ESXi 8.0 ©XSIBackup 1.7.0.0 is now compatible with ©ESXi 8.0 Download ©VMWare ©ESXi 8.0 backup compatible version

You can use ©XSIBackup-DC to backup ©ESXi 5.1 to 7.0 Or ©XSIBackup-App appliance to backup VMs in ©ESXi 5.1 to 8.0 from a centralized multiserver console. Both of the above allow to backup VMs up to 100 GB to local storage for free wthout any time limit and offer full functionality during the trial period. The trial period is hardcoded in the binary. We release new versions every few days. ©XSIBackup-Classic was deprecated years ago due to changes in the ©ESXi hypervisor. It will work with ©ESXi...

O.K., I guess you mean 6.0 Update 2, it could be equivalent to 6.0.2 somwhow, but VMWare does not use that naming. That version is tested and XSIBackup works well in it. Send us a form: https://33hops.com/formulario-de-contacto.asp so that we can send you the software via e-mail. There may be some sort of curruption in the copy you are using.

XSIBackup tunnels Rsync data through OpenSSH. Different ESXi builds might contain different OpenSSH versions. That message seems to be just a warning, but it does in fact bring the tunnel down. It is a bug in OpenSSH_7.3 https://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=147309628200704&w=2 Run this: /usr/lib/vmware/openssh/bin/ssh -V To determine your OpenSSH version and downgrade or upgrade your system, depending on if VMWare fixes this soon or not. VMWare is a great enterprise and has brought out great software...

I have looked, but I cannot seem to find anything which resolves this issue. Probably just missing it, if so, sorry. But, I have been following the video tutorials (great by the way) to get XSIBackup going, and all appears OK, but I get no emails. This is the report which it produces within the PuTTY terminal (I have edited some specifics where that might be sensitive, otherwsie it is just a cut and paste) ... 2017-05-03T13:11:59| Opening port 587 for SMTPout-587 service... sh: 0: unknown operand...

That's excellent and solves the problem for me.

No, just go ahead and let XSIBackup mark the EULA as read. As you skipped it in the installation phase, just make sure now that the file is writable: # chmod 0700 EULA From the install dir

That is the idea, using a resource that is visible to all servers. In any case, remember that we kept XSIBackup a script in sake of flexibility, so you can use something like: xsidefaultpath: /vmfs/volumes/HD1-$(hostname -f 2>/dev/null) To have an automatic custom path per server. If you move the xsidefaultpath down in the header of the script, we have done that already on our part, you can use the previously assigned vars, like: xsidefaultpath: /vmfs/volumes/HD1-$HOSTNAME or xsidefaultpath: /vm...

Matt Riley posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
I have not. If I missed that part in the installation documentation, I apologize. There is a "EULA" file in the installation directory already. Do I need to do something to it to make this work? Thanks! Matt

Hi Daniel. I wouldn't be opposed to having that uniformity. That said, the naming convention for the drives allows us to see what we have at a glance and how the drives are configured. Further, in vSphere, you can't replicate drive names across multiple servers - each, apparently, must be unique. If I only need to deal with the drama for the initial install, I can live with that. My single concern is what happens when I run the script to do a backup and the default path is different per server. I'll...
-
Thank you for sharing. When you want to deploy to a number of servers, you need to pre-stablish a deployment plan backboned by some sort of uniformity. I'll explain my self: the xsidefaultpath should be shared by all subsidiary servers, so that XSIBackup replicates itself to the same path. We'll think about switching that fixed variable into an argument, so that you could set it by backup job, instead of being a fixed XSIBackup envirnoment variable. Nevertheless, forcing to have a fixed set of rules...

Disk exclusions working very well, but i need do a backup all runing vm without some vmachines. Please add a vm exclusions to --backup-vms option. Example: We have 3 vm runing DEBIAN#1 CENTOS#2 WIN7#1 In my opininion command syntax might look like this: --backup-type=running --backup-vms="!DEBIAN#1, CENTOS#2!CENTOS#2.vmdk;CENTOS#2_1.vmdk" Desired result: backup contain: CENTOS#2 (without excluded disks), WIN7#1

When running version 9.0.1, it asks me every time to accept the EULA. Of course, I'm accepting it but it gives the following error immediately after hitting "y" to accept: sed: EULA: No such file or directory I'm assuming it is supposed to create/touch a file somewhere to indicate the EULA has been accepted for future runs of the tool but I don't know where it is looking for this file or why it isn't being created. Things work fine otherwise and the backup tool does run and function properly. Any...

If the device refuses to be queried, all I can tell is contact the manufacturer or try to find more specific information. I do not know that particular piece of hardware, nor what driver you are using for ESXi.
