Hello folks,
I have a weird problem when backing up one of my virtual machines on ESXi 4.
I use ghettoVCB.sh to create a *.gz-file of my VM which actually works great. I start the procedure via a script on my SBS2003 over putty. After it has finished I want to download the file from the ESXi and store it on my server, but this somehow does not work.
I can see the file, I can access it but I get a timeout after about 500 Megs have been transferred.
I does not matter if I use WinSCP or PSCP - See here a screenshot from PSCP:
Edit - For clarification: The shot shows the status when the file transfer is stuck. WinSCP will show the "connection timout"-error at this point. It's always at 79% no matter which programm I use. If I want to transfer the uncompressed vmdk-files it happens at roughly the same #MB (of course the percentage differs as filesize is different).
I have no idea what the problem might be.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm really stuck here..
Best
Lukas
Try with FastSCP or with datastore browser
Hi Andre,
Well it worked from the beginning with the datastore browser, but I needed a solution which can be automated. It does not help if I have to remember to copy every day.
But, big suprise, it works flawlessly with Veeam FastSCP!
It's a bit more complicated as I can't put everything into one script (->respectively, that I have to schedule the two tasks, backup and copy of the backup so they won't overlap). But hey, as long as it works somehow I won't complain.
Many thanks for the help
Lukas
