    Thanks for the information. @Chico008, does the information at https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2025/10/30/xcp-ng-8-3-varstored-update-unbootable-vm-risk-and-remediation/ resolve the issue for you?

    Hey, I am experiencing the same issue using XO from sources (commit 4d77b79ce920925691d84b55169ea3b70f7a52f6), Node version 22, Debian 13. I have multiple backup jobs and only one wich is a full backup job is giving me issues. Most VMs can be backed up by this full backup job just fine but some error out with "body timeout error", e.g.: { "id": "1762017810483", "message": "transfer", "start": 1762017810483, "status": "failure", "end": 1762018134258, "result": { "name": "BodyTimeoutError", "code": "UND_ERR_BODY_TIMEOUT", "message": "Body Timeout Error", "stack": "BodyTimeoutError: Body Timeout Error\n at FastTimer.onParserTimeout [as _onTimeout] (/etc/xen-orchestra/node_modules/undici/lib/dispatcher/client-h1.js:646:28)\n at Timeout.onTick [as _onTimeout] (/etc/xen-orchestra/node_modules/undici/lib/util/timers.js:162:13)\n at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:588:17)\n at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:523:7)" } } XO from sources VM has 8 vCPU and 8GB RAM. Link speed of the XCP-ng hosts is 50 Gbit/s. XO VM can reach 20 Gbit/s to the NAS in iperf. Zstd is enabled for this backup job. It appears that only big VMs (as in disk size) have this issue. The VMs that have this issue on the full backup job can be backed up just fine via delta backup job. I read in another thread that this issue can be caused by dom0 hardware constrains but dom0 has 16 vCPU and is at ~40% CPU usage while backups are running. RAM usage sits at 2GB out of 8GB used. I changed my full backup job to GZIP compression and will see if this helps. Will report back. I really need compression due to the large virtual disks of some VMs... Best regards MajorP

    @Danp I got around this by using Clonezilla to copy the disks of the 2 VMs I was having an issue with. This is very strange. The VMs booted and ran fine on the old host, I was able to clone them with Clonezilla to the new host where they also boot and run fine. There is something preventing the native tools from migrating these specific disks though.

    @DustinB As to why you're seeing "VM not found!" I don't know if that is a XO alert or something you added into the screenshot, I've never seen that so I can't speak to it. I didn't add the text, all I did was highlight it with the red surround. Just testing the backups again using the 'Delta' method and '[NOSNAP][NOBAK] Data drive' as the name of the second drive , feeling more hopeful about this one though. I'm starting to like XO the more I use it, would be good to move to this instead of switching between 2 different XCP-ng Center EXEs. depending on the XCP-ng version on the host so I really hope I can get this to work. The scheduled hourly snapshot while the guest is running looks a great feature, although I need to learn to walk with this first before I go that far

    @HamiltonWDS Thanks for the report. As it works with wget let use it! I'll switch from curl to wget in doc. In the meantime some colleagues will investigate more.

    Thank you very much for the clear explanation @HamiltonWDS ! This will be really helpful so we find a solution for that. We might default to IPv4 for a lot higher latency, and in the future maybe having closer location mirrors. Let me discuss this internally and schedule an action for that.

    The simple answer here is to use the Continuous Replication backup type. It'll copy the VM to another host on whatever schedule you set. It couldn't be simpler.

    Hi! Yes, we'll develop the hub in the future, we just lack the resource internally to prioritize this against the rest, but as we a growing fast, expect more things coming in here

    I have no idea for the legacy Linux tools, they are badly coded and you can get rid of them entirely We've been using them in prod since almost a year without any issue. 1.0 will come soon but it's already very stable and safe (it's written in Rust). Our goal is to get them in all Linux distro upstream ASAP.

    Posted this as I personally found this configuration quite involved, and the permissions earlier in the thread were insufficient to make it work when using AWS KMS for bucket encryption as well as the XO provided encryption secret.

    @nick-lloyd So looked at the network ports on the host it is going to. They show disconnected due to they are in a bond lacp so the 2 network ports show as disconnected but the bond shows as connected. Also have other VMs running on the receiving host so know the bond is working.

    Check XO Lite and XO 6, it will be closer to your habits, but not XenCenter is only community supported (we don't want to support it at Vates)
