I powered on my spare test "server" and ran this update.
All went fine.
After the reboot I started the fully updated XOA (local installed) and ran it for a few minutes.
then I shut it down but it sat for a few minutes so I did a force shut down from xsconsole.
Rebooted the host again and started the XOA, shut it down and it worked fine
Tested one more time and it went OK.

Upgrade to RC2 worked fine so far with netinstall ISO in ventoy on a 8 gen i5 HP laptop. And a "full" ISO on its own USB on a Lenovo Thinkcentre Ryzen 5 2400GE

No stats :o(
but netdata seems to work

@olivierlambert
I have reported a similar issue with the cpu report:
Lots of performance alerts after upgrading XO to commit aa490
https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9658/lots-of-performance-alerts-after-upgrading-xo-to-commit-aa490/14#

yes there is, in the docs
https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/backups#exclude-disks

@rtjdamen
Exactly

I have a similar backup strategy
One backup job with 2 schedules
Works fine for me

@danieeljosee
Take a look at Tom Lawrence YT channel
Lots of good stuff there

Upgrade to RC2 worked fine so far with netinstall ISO in ventoy on a 8 gen i5 HP laptop. And a "full" ISO on its own USB on a Lenovo Thinkcentre Ryzen 5 2400GE

2 days ago I upgraded my fully patched Ryzen 5 RC1 to RC2 by ISO.
Unfortunately I also upgraded my XO to commit aa490.
All backup jobs since then has triggered CPU performance alerts on my backed up delta, offline VM, XCP-ng host and the VM running XO.
I will update the XO to latest commit today.
Are there any changes in RC2 that could cause this?
I have only received 1 alert on high memory earlier.

@stormi
I ran yum update a few minutes ago and got this:
warning: %triggerin(sm-3.2.3-1.1.xcpng8.3.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Non-fatal <unknown> scriptlet failure in rpm package sm-3.2.3-1.1.xcpng8.3.x86_64

The server started and the VMs seems to be running.
I'm not running iSCSI so i hope its OK

@DustinB
Yes

@DustinB
Backup / Restore / trashcan

@ph7
5:30 pm

@DustinB
~17:30

@DustinB
The schedule I am testing is hourly with a pause when the other jobs are running

In the setup the Long-term retention of backups like this:

And this is the result so far:

We are getting closer to the weekly now.
Cant wait

@DustinB
I think You only need the Backuo retension = 7 inside the schedule.
I think You can delete (disable for now) the other 2
The long term retention will fix the weeks and month.
maybe remove the 7 Number of daily backups kept
I am running a test job and I will post some info in a "minute"

yes there is, in the docs

VM_LACKS_FEATURE

This means there's no tools installed or working on that VM

The original job is still not running
I was thinking about this and came up with this cunning plan

1. Shut down the VM to see if there is still a problem with the tools
2. Run the original job manually

No. it did not work, still failing entries must be sorted in asc order 2025-01 2025-52

Maybe I'm wrong but I think we have a problem here. Could have something to do with the new year.
