NSX-T 3 Backups

Have been trying to setup NSX-T 3 backups, but I haven't found a single SFTP package which supports the required Algorithms. 

Anyone found an SFTP server package which works?

Is this for production or lab?

I have used OpenSSH in Windows Server 2016/2019, but that is very limited to the path length so need to backup to i folder like D:\n. Could be possible to increase path length in Windows, but haven't tested that yet.

I have also used sshd in latest version of Ubuntu:

useradd nsxbackup

passwd nsxbackup

groupadd sftpusers

usermod -aG sftpusers nsxbackup

mkdir -p /sftp/nsxbackup/backup

chown nsxbackup:sftpusers /sftp/nsxbackup/backup/

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

 

#--

 

Subsystem   sftp   internal-sftp -d /backup

 

Match Group sftpusers

 

ChrootDirectory /sftp/%u

#--

systemctl restart sshd

most Linux flavors have ssh "integrated" no need for special things for it.
