    I don't mean to come off as abrasive at all, but truly what in the world do some warnings/errors mean when it comes to VM backups? “Unused XVA”??? [image: 1775435880036-f445acf7-d12a-4091-b6ff-3d010631122c-image.jpeg] “XVA might be broken”?????? [image: 1775435951388-bed93036-c2e8-4aad-a250-123481282e91-image.jpeg] Like, what do you mean ‘might’? It is or it isn't, there isn't a codified conditional check to tell me either way? It just makes zero sense to me how out of all 10+ of my VMs, most backup/copy perfectly fine, but others get tagged with these bizarre ambiguous errors... What do the developers behind these error outputs actually expect an end-user SysAdmin to do with these errors/warnings? I cannot be the only person a little frustrated by this UI/UX for backups. I just need VM-level backups that work. Any explanation for this would be greatly appreciated.

    Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

    @DustinB said in Export list of Backup results (to TXT or CSV): @KPS That might be sufficient for now if you can share it with me. I assume you mean if the backup files are deleted there is nothing to detect, correct? If the backup-files are deleted, the script does still "count" them, as it only parses the logs.

    It is possible to have both AMD and Intel in the same pool. My homelab had it until recently when I upgraded RAM and retired the optiplexes just recently. Live migration will not work, however, shared storage will work. You just have to shutdown the VM and "Start on" the specific host. In the VM Advanced tab.

    @olivierlambert said in Updated Permissions Matrix for XO documentation: Hi! Thanks for your recap, however: ACLs will be massively revamped in the future (but it's already good to have a view at the moment) I'm not sure about the viewer permission regarding VM console I converted that to a Markdown, I did however lose the header column (wasn't really sure how to do that). Anyways let me know what you think, and the Viewer permissions I really wasn't sure what else would be granted, seems like its only meant to generate reports from XO for a given system/host.

    We made the proxy with the smallest attack surface possible, so I would say it's pretty safe. But indeed, and as usual, it's a perpetual balance benefits and costs

    @olivierlambert Yes. Using Cloudbase-init. I'd like to use something like - hostname: uk-xcp-{something} Where {something} is a number that XO keeps track of per group so that for a new VM {something} is unique.

    That's exactly what I said When you create a SR into an NFS path, it will create a new folder with a unique ID (UUID). Then, all vhd files must be there "flat" (no subfolder). Also, the only format working is <uuid>.vhd, nothing else. You can generate an UUID pretty easily with uuidgen.

    @Andrew Thank you Andrew... sorry it took me a while to get back to you. It seems every time I have to go and update Node they change the method you need to do so and it takes me forever to figure out what I'm supposed to do. I still haven't figured that out, but that's on me. However, restarting the toolstack did not fix the issue, but restarting the XO Ubuntu host server did. I've not seen anything like that before, where I've had to reboot the entire host server after applying commits... but if it works, I shall not argue! Thank you again for all of your help. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a fantastic holiday season.

    @Pechkin000 It should be installed alongside xo-server, it depends how you installed XO on this. But still, it requires root access for security.

    @poltushima As there is no S3 support in Azure Blob Storage, no you can't use XO for direct backup to Azure. There are S3 proxy projects (here's one) that could make it work.
