    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]

    @station-already hehe glad you got it figured out Indeed, management interface changes are pretty "violent" in terms of how much they change and interrupt, so a reboot helps quite often - same for changing the virtual adapter/PIF assigned to a VM - alway a good idea to reboot the VM

    This means your NFS server doesn't support NFSv3.

    This is not exposed in XAPI, so it might require to write a XAPI plugin.

    @mrnaz look for the (first) error in your terminal where you execute the script to upgrade. Probably you need to upgrade the yarn or node version.

    @mauzilla I've done so that I have two separate backup jobs incremental every 4 hours, with exception on weekends. Retention usually 8 days weekly full backups, zstd compression, every Sunday night. This way we have a separate backup from the incremental chain. We also are able to do more maintenance jobs on the nfs server etc during the off hours on the weekend.

    @olivierlambert Thanks, We had been looking at Terraform so I guess we'll keep heading down that path for the time being.

    @vmpr Not much, this is a system issue which means that it's either due to your NFS server or to the connection between your XO and the NFS server. First, try to unmount the share and restart xo-server, if it keeps happening, restart the whole machine on which XO is. If that does not help, you should mount the share manually and do some tests directly on it.

    Most users are relying NFS shares. However, we are open to build something for tapes. The problem is: we have no knowledge on that technology nor have any tape system in our lab. If there's enough traction for this, or even sponsored dev to do it, we'll be happy to work on that!
