Hi there,
Just installed and trying to get this running on two hosts.
On a single virtual machine, about half-way through the backup, I keep getting:
<class ‘struct.error’> unpack requires a string argument of length 4
I originally set this up so that each host went to the same folder, but after reading another post, split them into their own folders.
Full log:

I am using this syntax:
./vertical backup --threads 8 --parallel --email $vms
where $vms = space delimited list of all VMs on the host.
Any thoughts?
