Could you please show me what your full command line looks like? Did you install the latest python module according to the installation instructions?

Ciao!

It is explained step 6 in the README file: Install the XenServer Software Development Kit from www.citrix.com/downloads - download the XenServer and copy file XenAPI.py into the same directory where VmBackup.py exists.

To verfy XenApi, execute VmBackup with a valid password and some simple vm-name.
Example: ./VmBackup.py password vm-name preview
Note: if password has any special characters, then escape with back slash:
./VmBackup.py pass$word vm-name

hi, what is the procedure to install sdk? I downloaded sdk and copied the xenapi.py file into the same directory as Vmbackup.py Do I have to do anything else?

I believe that is all. Make sure it has read and possibly also execute privileges set. If you run "ls -l XenApi.py" there should be at least an "r" that shows up on the permissions. I'm not at a point where I can conveniently check directly what the exact permission settings are, but try running VmBackup.py now.
