Roberto, Thank you for your answer. I read this article before asking a question. I wanted to test xsi backup to borg repo.
In example:

# ./xsibackup --backup-prog=borg --backup-point=/backups/my-borg-repo --backup-type=custom \
--backup-vms="MyVM1,MyVM2!MyVM2_3.vmdk;MyVM2_4.vmdk"

I dont understand backup-point switch. In normal case this is target for my backup but in backup to borg repo this is borg repository name?

Hello.

I have 2 servers. On one I have esxi 6.0u2 from xsi (c) XSIBACKUP-PRO 9.1.8 on the other I have Debian 9.0 stretch with borg installed. What is the correct way to back up from the first server? Does the borg repository need to be shared by nfs to esxi host?

Debian:

borg init user@hostname:/path/to/repo

ESXi

./xsibackup --link-srv=xx.xx.xx.xx

There is no need to add it again, you should be able to connect with XSIBackup to xx without any password.

next:

./xsibackup --backup-prog=borg --backup-point=xx.xx.71.125 --backup-type=custom --backup-vms="Cycki"

The server --backup-point=xx.xx.71.125 does not exist
Make sure there is an SSH server listening on xx.xx.71.125 port  and that the firewall allows this connection
