    I tried this on my lab (with XO 6.9.1), moving the pool master to the other host with xe pool-designate-new-master and then back. XO stayed connected both times and picked up the new master, even though Settings > Servers still showed the old host's address; on the way back it took a minute or two to catch up. I didn't test 6.2.2, and I used the CLI rather than the XO 5 Advanced tab, so my guess that your older version is the difference is only a guess. For the XVA, I'm not aware of release notes for the appliance image itself: it updates itself after import, and the notes that exist are per XO version, in the monthly blog post and the changelog, both linked from https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/getting-started/releases#release-cadence-and-channels . How often the downloadable XVA gets rebuilt I don't know, so the 2025.12 tag may just be the date of the base image, but I'd rather ask than guess.

    I ran into the same problem with DR replicas. Ignoring VMs by tag would solve the problem, but so would excluding the ip address information.

    Hi! We recieved a fix via the support after opening a ticket as suggested. Now the pool metadata backup is running smoothly again. As far as i know 6.9 will become "stable" after 6.10 is released. I'd still suggest a patch for the stable version, unless the new release is a few days. Best wishes Jacob

    @bug-meister Ah. That's cloud-init's support for templating user-data. The issue is that with these templates you only have access to the info available inside the VM itself. No outside data can be used for templating unless it is somehow passed to the VM (inject a file, set xenstore values...)

    @spidernin If you go to Backup > Restore, it will show you the number of existing backups for each VM.

    Hi, If you want to change the background color, you need to update the $side-menu-bg: #044b7f; in ~/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-web/src/index.scss . Best regards.

    That's precisely the difference: a delta backup is stored in a remote, a CR is stored in an SR.

    Not a huge deal currently, but if I had a number of VDI's spread out, it could exeed any single available space which means I cant restore at all... Can this be done in an alternative way via CLI?

    What does your cloud config logs show on the guest OS after boot? Can you see if it has made any attempt to inject the config? Only thing I can think of is that your cloud config might be wrong thus the cloud init service is refusing it. Have you tried to use an ubuntu image? I used official images of both debian 10 and ubuntu 18.04 and worked fine once I got rid of the pre-populated network config or inserted a real network config. I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on so let me know if there's anything else you need to know, it's super frustrating.

    Question: Delta backup retention vs. full backup interval

    @Vinylrider your understanding is correct, delta retention is just how many deltas to keep before merging the oldest delta with the full. Full backup interval is the time between each new full back up for use in case of corrupted back up. To answer your question, yes it is recommended to have more than 1 full back up to fall back to in the event of corruption espcially of delta backups since delta backups rely on previous deltas meaning if one of your delta is corrupted, you'll loose all data from that point onward until another full backup is made, or worse your full backup could be corrupted (more likely because of the file size) then you loose the whole chain. And if your corrupted delta is merged with the full, you'll probably have a corrupted chain aswell.
