[quote=admin]The error says

"After each reboot" is not the same as "after installation". Reboot your ESXi host to try the software.[/quote]

I was, in fact, missing something from the documentation! big_smile Thanks for the clarification.

[quote=admin]
... so you should use some ext4 or XFS file system mounted over NFS to host deduplicated repositories

This clears me other questions, I'll go try with a NFS share or this type of backup.
Thank you!

Good evening, I'm finding troubles testing the new Datacenter version.
I'm probably missing something even after reading PDF, readme and site, when I try to backup a VM in my Esxi 6.7 host nothing happens but the first three lines of a running task, no errors but only two lines stating:

Trial version allows backups and replicas during 6 h. after each reboot
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Removed /tmp/xsi dir     OK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlocked backup          OK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Removed PID              OK

This in the first 5 minutes after installing the trial. Normally with other versions (free and pro even trial) I get errors explaining something to look to but in this case nothing happens.

Is the destination of the backup required to be a deduplicated folder or can it be a normal VMFS disk mounted via iscsi (where is now happening the backup with xsifree) ?
Thanks in advance
Massimo
