Some ©ESXi versions reset cbt after a hard reboot. This forces to reset the CBT configuration to prevent loosing data or corrupting your backups. We have added some logic to handle this kind of situation. Download latest ©XSIBackup version here.
Some ©ESXi versions (still to determine) produce broken -ctk.vmdk files after a hard reboot. This forces to reset the CBT configuration to prevent loosing data or corrupting your backups. We have added a mechanism to detect this bug and produce full backups based on our delta algorithm along with an error and a notice to reset CBT. We have confirmed this to happen in ©ESXi 6.7.0. It only happens when you reboot the server with VMs on, without previously switching them off. Even when you switch them...

We have just posted a working copy of the xsibackup-update.sh file which wasn't working as expected. We are sorry about the inconvenience. This time of the year we don't have as many resources as the rest of the season and not being a critical issue we postponed the fix until today. Please follow the ©XSIBackup-App Change Log for more detailed information on the new features and fixes:

If some remote replica dir is deleted partially, per instance, if you delete some -flat.vmdk file but you don't delete the .map directory containing the data definitions, subsquent jobs running on the same remote dir will result in data loss, as the client will believe the files defined by the .blocklog files inside the .map dir do exist. Some versions of ©ESXi do just that when you remove some VM from disk. The whole VM folder is not removed as it should happen and an indetermined number of files...

When this happens only one of the two hosts is allowed to register. This was due to a lacking space character and is fixed in version 1.0.0.10. See change log for all changes: ©XSIBackup-App Change Log
This issue was solved in v. 2.0.0.5
When you backup some VM that is running in the same server as the backup server, being the latter a virtual machine and you are using the very same NIC to get the source data and to push it to the backup server, the final checksum collects garbage and fails, even though the backup completes consistently.

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

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.

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.

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
No, just go ahead and let XSIBackup mark the EULA as read.
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...
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...
