I try to backup my 2 vm's in esxi 6.7 with the free version (it must work before i will buy)
But I don't get it to work. and don't know why.
in putty i can browsen to: /vmfs/volumes/ESXBackups which is a nfs 4.1 share on my synology.
en esxi website I have mounted dit nfs share as datastore.
and with this command i try to do a dry run:
cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/ && ./xsibackup –-backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/ESXBackups –-backup-how=hot –backup-type=custom –backup-vms=”DomoticzUbuntu,HassUbuntu” --use-smtp=1 --test-mode=true
this is my outpunt
The --backup-point string is a mandatory value
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------what do I miss??
