Upgraded my ESXi from 7.x to 8.0 Update 1 (I only use a single Free ESXi host without vCenter)
Ran backups and got the ESX(i) version not supported! Error
Uninstalled
rm -rf /opt/ghettovcb
reinstalled the latest version of ghettoVCB

Successfully ran backups
A few days later backups start failing with ESX(i) version not supported! error.
Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version.
Successfully ran backups

  1. For some reason the ESXi keeps trying to use the old unistalled version. Their a missing command or something to persist changes between reboots?
  2. Also, does the newest version come with a newer "VIBs Installed" version?
  3. Is the uninstall instructions missing a "rm -rf /opt/ghettovcb"
  4. Should I be using the offline or regular install
[root@esxi:/opt] esxcli software vib remove -n ghettoVCB

After a reboot the newer version is still working... I post again in a few days when it fails again.

I also have this problem on 8.0.3. Latest ghettoVCB.sh has 8.0.3 as supported but after reboot it reverts back to 8.0.2 any help ?
