I am the admin of a few ESXi servers, different versions of all of them. The backup procedure according to Vmware (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2042141) works properly in almost all of them. However, the backup procedure is not working on one specific version (7.0.0 build-16324942) for me. I also recreated the issue by creating a fresh VM running version 7.0.0 build-16324942, and upgrading this to version 7.0.2 build-17867351, but even when the upgrade procedure ends successfully, the backup procedure still fails. The backup procedure works properly on a fresh VM that runs version 7.0.2 build-17867351 from scratch.
I've already tried multiple workarounds like re creating the /scratch/downloads directory, re starting the services.sh restart but still can't generate the backup using the "vim-cmd hostvcv/firmware/sync_config
Please, any advice is welcome.
can you share the screenshot of the output of the below command on the host you are facing an error?
ls -l
Sure! Thanks for your reply!
Here's the output of the ls -l
