    @olivierlambert Hi, Yes, I have "Merge backups synchronously" enabled on the Local Backups jobs but still get the error as the Mirror Job has a lock on the VM data.

Start: 2025-07-26 21:17 End: 2025-07-26 21:17 Duration: a few seconds Error: Lock file is already being held Thanks.

    It is in the same place in XO. Network tab of the host. Change the Mode from None to Static (or DHCP). This should get you a pop up to enter the address, netmask, etc.

    @florent Limiting concurrency did not fix my S3 backup problem, but it's working again after updating the build. So I guess it's resolved.

    You should probably be able to fix this issue by installing the ntfs-3g package. As you mentioned you're running it on a Synology, you can do that in DSM by opening Docker -> Container -> Select your container -> Details -> Terminal and enter the below in the console. apk update apk add ntfs-3g Let us know if it helped.

    @olivierlambert Well, for now, I'm mostly playing around with this tech to teach myself about it, gaining experience and coming up with ideas. Maybe someday I'll be able to return some profit with the business I'm building / trying to figure out (hosting game servers). Then I'll sign up for some Pro support - and maybe then we can work on the concept of HA XO I understand what you're saying. I think I can come up with a good enough way of achieving the HA I'm looking for. Anyway, thanks for takning the time to respond. I understand your schedule is busy.

    If you use XOA, I would strongly suggest to open a support ticket. This way, we can investigate properly on your XOA and see what's going on.

    Weird Issue with NFS and Synology Hyper Backup

    It's important to understand the components you are using, especially on a software that you use without support/training In short: SR: a Storage Repository is access by your host/dom0/XCP-ng, and will be used to store ISOs and/or VM disks. It's running on a relatively old CentOS release (7.x), and will mount with some specific settings BR/remote: a Backup Repository where Xen Orchestra will send the backup of your VMs. Usually, Xen Orchestra runs (in XOA) inside a Debian 11 VM, with default NFS mount options (default: ie from the operating system point of view). It's hard to tell exactly the issue since you are likely using XO from the sources, so a XO that you choose to install on a system where we (aka "XO devs") have precisely 0 control on. Plus the NFS configuration part is also out our scope because it's not running inside our infrastructure too. That's a lot of moving pieces, that's why it's important to understand what you do so we can assist here the most efficient way we can
