    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?

    Did a little digging and I don't think I've seen anything about this on the forum before so wanted to post. Does anyone know how Xen Orchestra behaves if you add an encryption key to a remote after said remote has already been used for unencrypted backups? I'm planning to start encrypting everything I upload in the near future, if it's as simple as adding a key that's great, but I am guessing it's better to create a new remote (and new bucket) and then just restart all the backups with the new remote? Or should I re-create the backup jobs entirely?

    @olivierlambert said in Stuck at copying Continuous Replicated VM: In order to CR to continue after "booting it", you must use a copy. In case of you lost your origin VM, then it doesn't matter if you boot the replicated VM directly. I don't know why full clone doesn't work on this SR. I give up for now I have no idea why it did not work. No error messages on the logs also. It just stuck. anyways thank you @olivierlambert for your time. I created a new VM and attach the copied VDI 1 to it. The second VDI cannot be attached so I delete it and will copy from the source server. Looks like it is working. I have one more VM to process and this time I will double check the steps and share any progress here.

    @S-Pam said Isn't any SQL server crash safe? I.e. they should handle a system power-loss and gracefully recover (journals). A filesystem snapshot is equivalent of a power loss. You need to configure your databases accordingly. Most of maria/mysql have enabled innodb doublewrite enabled by default: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-doublewrite-buffer.html But just in case of Active Directory... I really really want to have consistent snapshot/backups

    Yes. That would be a way of doing so. If you can afford the downtime, you could also use a backup solution (XOA, Alike DR, etc.) to backup the VMs from both hosts, build the pool from scratch using both hosts in a clean state, and then restore back into the new pool (this way gives you a chance to not only start fresh; but, implement any big "lessons learned" or "new ideas" you've got on your list).

    Ping @pdonias IIRC, it's not trivial but this is obviously something we'll working on for XO 6 (there's also limitation in XAPI, because it doesn't tell you what's going on for real behind a task)

    Hello, The DNS names of the master (and nodes also with a pattern) should be configurable for the user indeed. We'll add it in a next version of the recipe. Thanks for the feedback!

    @bberndt said in Create job to migrate several VMs: Tring to create a job, to schedule the migration of several VMs to another host. At the bottom, there are a couple things I don't know. There are two check boxes here for each of these: mapVdisSrs mapVifsNetworks They don't seem to do anything. What are these? Also, what goes in the box Migration Network. The name storage1, or network1 don't work. thanks. Ah! the UUID of the storage Migration network on the destination is what I need, apparently.

    Check host logs to understand why. Maybe those VHD were attached to the control domain or something like that.

    @akurzawa xo-server is not explicitly multi-processed, but it uses async IO calls in Node which should lead to multi-threaded operations. Anyway, we are currently working on reimplementing backups for the proxy and it will eventually lead to using multiple processes. These changes will at the end be merged back to xo-server as well.
