@tjkreidl Gotcha and thanks!. In our scenario we wouldn't have a VM on more than one SR but I understand that some people would.

RE: Mirror backup confusion Full vs Delta vs Incremental
@olivierlambert Thank you! That helps to clarify significantly. I have a couple follow up questions if you don't mind....I'm trying to make this as bulletproof as I can...ie.....the building burns down and I have to recover everything from Backblaze.
Would I be able to recover from scratch if I was only ever using incremental (with the 20 day full interval)?
Will running a separate full basic backup outside of the incremental break/upset the backup chain in any way?
Thanks again!

RE: Mirror backup confusion Full vs Delta vs Incremental
@Nick-085 I had it like that originally and the Backblaze transfer seemed to slow down the entire job.
That's why I am testing the mirror job. Backup to fast local storage at night and transfer to Backblaze during the day.
I've been doing backups with various products for a long time so I understand the concepts. I'm trying to learn the Xen Orchestra way and I think it just hasn't clicked with me yet.

Is backing up a VM by SR possible?
I’m building out backups and doing it by SR.
I have 4 NFS SR’s and I have built 4 backup jobs to match those SR’s.
We are planning to use it like backup tiers:
NFS-1 = high priority vm’s
NFS-2 = med priority
NFS-3 = lower
NFS-4 = nobody cares lol…..or only backup weekly or only keep 30 days…stuff like that.Is there a way to target the backup job to the SR? I know we can tag vm’s but if a coworker moves a vm to a different SR and forgets to change the tag it could get messy over time.
Thanks!

Mirror backup confusion Full vs Delta vs Incremental
I configured a delta backup to an NFS remote.
-Run daily
-Full backup interval: 20I want to run a mirror backup of that to Backblaze B2.
The documentation says-
If you have full and incremental backups on a remote, you must configure 2 mirror backup jobs, one full and one incremental.Does that mean I need 2 different mirror backup jobs or am I misunderstanding?
Thanks!
