We want to collaborate with you on these initiatives to make your experience painless, profitable, and proven. Please send me your feedback on how we are doing, and what we could do better at khoffman@axcient.com.
I look forward to hearing from you!


Replibit
Replibit Backup Analysis Tool

The first step in troubleshooting backup failures is to run the Replibit Backup Analysis Tool. This tool checks the status of the VSS system and runs additional Windows checks. Plus, if you include a ticket number, the resulting data is automatically added to your Support ticket.

Check out the Backup Analysis Tool here:


Using the Linux shell

Replibit is deployed as a hardened Linux distribution, so there is no graphical user interface display on the physical console. To simplify this, we have implemented a user account with limited access to a set of user-friendly command-line tools.
