    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

    Depends on what you expect from "manage", but once a template is deployed (or recipe applied), it's all regular VMs.

    I think using a script for an initial test is OK, but if you want to really use it, it's better to follow our documentation and following the per-requisites by the book.

    In essence, you can write any script you like in your VM that would be executed, test whatever you want in the database, and if it's OK, write a special key in the XenStore. XO will detect it and consider the backup health check done and working

    What kind of backups are these? Incremental (delta), full, etc..? I think that'll help determining the issue, I had something similar once specifically with an incremental and was able to fix it. May not be related though since that was a while ago and on stable release channel for XOA.

    Hmmmmm I need to look back through some of my old posts and notes but I had a similar issue with a VM with large number of disks. The disks themselves being big wasn't the issue, it was just having a huge number of them that eventually cased a problem. Ended up migrating by moving a single VHD and rebuilding things (the specific system didn't really "need" all the VHDs so it was an easy fix for me, wouldn't be the case here haha). If you are trying to reduce the number of hosts though, why would migrating the VCSA help? If you're powering off a host then wouldn't you not need the VCSA to be running anyway? Or do you have more than 1 ESXi instance? Might be easiest to just migrate it to another ESXi host if that's the goal, since you won't need the VCSA once you fully move to XCP-ng (assuming you are doing so).

    You can create a valid VHD file with the command uuidgen

    If you want to put VHD file in an existing NFS SR, you need to indeed have an UUID type. Note that the SR file structure should NOT have any subfolder into it. To generate an UUID, you can use uuidgen command.
