    I have a delta backup job with Full backup interval set to 7. If i look at the backup job results I get this: xoce (legion) Snapshot Start: 2025-07-25 03:02 End: 2025-07-25 03:02 Fiend NFS transfer Start: 2025-07-25 03:02 End: 2025-07-25 03:08 Duration: 6 minutes Size: 23.78 GiB Speed: 73.01 MiB/s Clean VM directory cleanVm: incorrect backup size in metadata Start: 2025-07-25 03:08 End: 2025-07-25 03:08 Start: 2025-07-25 03:02 End: 2025-07-25 03:08 Duration: 6 minutes Start: 2025-07-25 03:02 End: 2025-07-25 03:08 Duration: 6 minutes Type: full It says "full". If i go to backup -> restore, search for this vm, i see "full 2 delta 2" in "Available Backups" column. Yet if i press "restore" arrow i see that two full backups are of 2022 year and it looks dangerous. Documentation says about that setting "For example, with a value of 2, the first two backups will be a key and a delta, and the third will start a new chain with a full backup.". Yet, I see only VERY old full backups... Xen Orchestra, commit 19412 Master, commit 6277a, but it seems that this happens for a long time (i recently updated it to this state and the problem seems to persist ever since I began to use Xen Orchestra in 2022). Do I miss something? Do I really have fresh full backups and these a just labeled "incremental" or what? [image: 1753444452743-xoce.png]

    Hi, XOA in Debian 9 is outdated/deprecated. You should export your config and import it on a freshly deployed XOA

    @olivierlambert - I'd also like to say that I'm a very recent homelab convert over to XCP-NG. I've been using VMWare for like... 15 years. I have a project at work that I use native Xen for, and have been really impressed with the security and control that we get out of it. I've been in the process of shifting over to XCP-NG over this Christmas break, and I've been really, really happy. There was a bit of a learning curve, but I'm very happy that I'm going to be getting an increase in functionality over my free ESXi instance. Really great work you're all doing!

    Yes you can do that, there's a tag on a replicated VM to avoid being replicated again.

    The issue is within pools: XCP-ng isn't meant to have pool members down (for various reasons), so the scenario is only limited to pools with one host only

    It's more work, but... you have to stop the VM and export them, delete the current SR (Local Storage), recreate SR (Local Storage) as local ext4 format import the VM back In this way you switch from LVM to ext4 and the space it needs will be small, not double the space

    @olivierlambert Yes, i will update and have a look if it changes the behaviour anyhow. "For the rest, it's hard to answer without digging more." That`t exactly was i was looking for: Any Information where i can dig deeper? I`m looking for logs or traces of errors or so. It is not that i just wan`t this particular problem to be solved In my limited understanding of interal processes i think somehow a backup process dies and xo-server does not report or recognize this. But shouldn`t it somehow?

    @olivierlambert Oh nice, hope it's not too cold over there. It's 9AM over here in Maryland and a bit nippy but not too cold. Nope, no host or pool logs available (both are empty). Then again, I cleared all the alerts from the dashboard earlier this morning, so not sure if that's what wiped all the logs. I'm not too worried, as this is a testing environment so I'm using this host to do a lot of learning.

    @Gheppy I am not an expert on the network part but I can help on the NBD part We added some info in this PR https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6596, it should be merged in this form or another in master in a few days. It will give the user more info on the NBD usage and the cause (misconfiguration, or network error) Then if XO ( or the proxy) can't connect to the host through the NBD (for example with a network filtering/ routing), it will fall back to the reliable (but non parallelizable) api call Finally , the backup done with NBD or the legacy api call will produce exactly the same data so they are compatibles, but using the same target (as in the same directory , same remote and same VMs) for multiple job can lead to complex support tickets with interesting race conditions. I would advise to only use the same remote/directory only if the backups jobs does not concern the same VMs fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed feat(@xen-orchestra/backups): more information on nbd backups #6596

    @cdbessig that's strange Since S3 remote are only able to store blocks, the option is enforced on save ( without any uI) I tested locally and the options seems to be there. Can you show me a screenshot of the backup job configuration ?
