    @cmanos No problem, glad I could helped. As Olivier also pointed above, it's not an issue anymore when using QCOW2 which is currently in beta, so hopefully it's only a short workaround

    I had to disable Purge snapshot data when using CBT. Backups are not longer defaulting to full backups.

    Yes, they are created either: on demand for users when we need in XO 6 Now, XO 6 is becoming the main driver for new endpoint as the UI is providing more and more features.

    This approach isn’t entirely foolproof since I can’t use a wildcard, and I don’t know how many disks will be attached to the VM. For now, it will never exceed two disks, so I can explicitly include both in the ignore_changes statement. That’s an acceptable solution for us. Thanks for your support.

    @Danp - thank you. Yes, I did, but that was not helping in this case. Found the solution: Both machines are on a hostserver, which has NOT all networks. So the real reason must be a network problem, therefore a quite missleading error message After moving both VMs to the master of this pool (which is connected to the same network where the xoa resides), everything went fine. Same storage, same vhds.

    @indyj The file restore issue was due to installing XO on FreeBSD (fine for VM restores, not file extraction). I then installed XO on Ubuntu 20, and this worked for restoring files from Linux VMs but not Windows VMs. Then I installed on CentOS 8 and had the same problem as Ubuntu. I then installed on Fedora 34 and everthing works fine.

    Yes, it should be safe enough to try importing the backup, then starting the VM without network (ie VIFs) and see if it stays up for a few minutes. I think we could start by adding a manual feature and then see in a second step how we could automate it.

    Also, the user will be created only on first connection. Maybe you are thinking about the plugin in a way that's not how it behave.

    @olivierlambert many thanks for the very quick response, it is indeed XO from sources. I think the burst explanation makes sense. Also, thanks for you and your teams continued development and support with both XCP-NG and XO.

    What do you mean "how it works"? It's the same thing than before, just "isolated" from the rest, working in a... worker. And yes, the long run objective is the ability to run it as a service on the remote directly, reducing a lot the merge time (because latency is the worst enemy of merging).

    Backup does not work if one host in the pool is offline

    @olivierlambert said in Backup does not work if one host in the pool is offline: When you connect to a working, machine, yes it does But XAPI connection isn't persistent: it means, when the pool is disconnected, XO has no recollection whatsoever on who was the "real" master the last time it was connected. The only info we store is the IP address you entered in Settings/server. I agree, functionally speaking, it can be limiting in your case. A viable option would be to save all existing hosts IPs in the XO database, as fallback if we can't connect to the IP you entered. This is not a very common case, that's why it wasn't done before Looks like a good suggestion. Thanks. In my case I migrated everything from the poolmaster to the second host, then changed the second host to pool master, waited an hour and then shut down the old pool master (now just a pool member). XOA was online during the entire process and I had forgotten to check the server list.

    That's because the effort to change this will be taken into account in XO 6 Alternatively, you can indeed contribute, this will be very welcome!

    Hi ! We are experiencing these kind of problems because we activated Continous Replication and frequency was way too low. Now I want to eliminate all those files in the chain, can I do it manually from XCP-NG Center or XOA ? Thanks !!! [image: 1635327169557-c2aa1fb3-2ed2-41cf-b242-e2a23e6832e4-image.png]

    @pdonias I did an update to Netbox 2.11.12 and it works now, so I don't need to tamper with my XOA.

    It can't be done by XO, because XO is using XAPI to make all calls (there's no XAPI command to rename a file on the SR, also XO isn't connected via SSH, so there's 0 change it was caused by XO). So it was done manually at some point (check your host bash history).

    There's no issue nor restriction to replicate a shutdown VM. CR will work as long as the destination VM never booted (otherwise destination blocks will be modified, so you understand now why we should block boot except if you really know what you do )
