Developer’s Description

By 33hops
Create fully unattended hot backup solutions with the ESXi command line.
XSIBackup works at the ESXi operating system level and uses the built in ESXi cron service to schedule backup jobs. It is managed through an SSH session as root, just as you would manage any Linux server. It has a minimum footprint on the server's resources yet offers close to hardware's theoretical limits at the time to backup data.XSIBackup uses the ESXi command line to create fully unattended hot backup solutions with no downtime, this means you can create a backup schema that will for example backup all your running virtual machines every night, send you a detailed e-mail report after each backup operation and provision space once the backup disk is full by deleting the older backup folders. Only folders with the name format used by XSIBackup will be deleted to provision space so older backups can coexist in the same disk by simply renaming the folder.
