The set of arguments and flags is exactly the same as in previous version of (c)XSIBackup-DC/ Pro, but some new arguments have been added to allow accessing and backing up VMs in other hosts.

This is the manual for (c)XSIBackup, all commands apply. https://33hops.com/xsibackup-dc-full-manual-home.html

Please read this post where specific arguments are explained: https://33hops.com/xsibackup-2-what-is-new.html

INSTALLATION

The virtual machine is Hardware Version 9, you should be able to uncompress and register the .tar.gz package directly to any ©ESXi version above or equal to 5.1.

You can use any command line Linux SCP client or some Windows tool such as WinSCP, Filezilla, etc... able to use SCP or SFTP.

SCP the .tar.gz file to the root of some data store you want to install the appliance to and run:

tar -xvf XSIBackup-App_1.0.0.0.tar.gz

The appliance will be uncompressed in its own folder. Register, switch the VM on and when prompted answer you copied the VM (this is to generate a new UID and MAC).

The appliance comes preconfigured with 2 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. This will be enough for most scenarios with small to medium sized VMs, nonetheless, you can tweak the appliance to suit your needs and increase memory and/or CPUs.

USAGE:

1/ Add one or more backup hosts. 2/ Add one or more backup servers "Key exchange" menu entry. 3/ Create some job. 4/ Run the job from the GUI. 5/ Schedule the job in the cron.

(*) Jobs running detached from a TTY run faster than jobs run in the shell. (**) Jobs run from the shell (command line) run faster than jobs run from the GUI.

LICENSING:

Trial license allows to use all functions for a limited period of time. The
free period end date will depend on when you downloaded the appliance. Once the trial period is over you will still be able to backup VMs up to 100GB to local storage.

Licensing an installation is also the same as doing it in ©XSIBackup directly installed in ©ESXi. The only consideration is that you also have to indicate the backup host for which you want to generate your request.key file.

xsibackup --request-key --backup-host=a.b.c.d

Previous license files are not valid. You can use the appliance's license files in multiple instances of the appliance, each license covers one host from an unlimited number of appliance instances.
