    @Bastien-Nollet said in Full backup - new long-retention options: @Forza As your backup tasks executes only once a week, the schedule retention is redundant with using "Number of weekly backups kept" of LTR. If keeping the last 52 weekly backups of this job is what you want, I recommend you to set the schedule retention to 1, and the number of weekly backups kept to 52. This way, if you happen to execute this backup job manually (in addition to its schedule), it will not delete the oldest backups. Thanks for the feedback. I included that difference (52 in the schedule and 12 in the LTR) on purpose in the screenshot because I wanted to know what takes presendece here, the 12 weeks, or 52 weeks. I have not yet enabled LTR, but am considering it for this backup job so that I can keep 52 weeks, 24 months and 5 yearly. Now I wonder if each dailym weekly, monthly and yearly option are sequential to the previous, or if all counts from 0? Will it mean that I have: year 1: 52 weekly year 2: 12 monthly year 3: 12 monthly year 4: 1 yearly year 5: 1 yearly year 6: 1 yearly year 7: 1 yearly year 8: 1 yearly Or will I get: year 1: 52 weekly + 12 monthly + 1 yearly (at the end of year 1) year 2: 12 monthly + 1 yearly year 3: 1 yearly year 4: 1 yearly year 5: 1 yearly

    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.

    If you create two separated jobs. One for the CR and one for the Rolling snapshot they will not interfere.

    OK the tasks (it been 8 hours since I've checked) are gone, but the VHDs localted on backup server's localstorage remains. QUESTION: How to delete VHDs that are not realted to any vm? I think it will not be deleted automatically. EG. For example - I've deleted "Atlas" VM, but big atlas VHD remains on BackupHost's local storage: [image: 1581667660068-666ed028-c8e0-4ae7-86f3-1a307f7eee76-image.png]

    Hi, It's possible to do it using the UI, simply create a schedule with 7 as Backup retention and 2 as Replication retention. [image: 1581581696403-fd938a54-8730-4bcf-85c3-7caf2018ac52-image.png]

    Because there's a ton of dependencies, and we try to decouple things, this work takes time. We should be able to run on a more recent version of Node soon, and when it will be the case, our doc will be updated accordingly. That's exactly why we can't support 3rd party installers. Our doc might change and during the interval, if the 3rd party installer isn't following, then it will break.

    OK, seems I wasn't trying hard enough. I was trying to mount the tools under the iso list, but when I look further down the list to xc-ng Tools it turns out I can mount the tools from there as long as I do it manually (mount /dev/sr0 /media/blahblah). Installed now, all good.

    There's no tool to "merge" old forum or fetch old message. So for few months we'll still have old XO forum then it will be automatically redirected to the XO category here.

    It's just a missing info in a config file of the appliance. Not a big deal, just surprising to see that now, despite the fact it was there before.

    XO Delta Backup Fails to Local Storage Mounted via NFS

    Hi, So I tried using the NFS target remotes but the speed of transfer was very poor even though the connection from XO to the NFS server is over 10Gbe. XO is on the same XCP-ng host as the VMs being backed up. This XCP-ng server is connected to the NFS mount over 10Gbe network: [image: 1581002643082-56cc5a0a-e633-443b-9a50-6575ef5cddaf-image.png] Here is the NFS Remotes setting in XO to the backup server (FreeNAS) at IP 10.10.2.3:[image: 1581002745614-046fcdaa-8788-4d69-aa00-c1620a0afb46-image.png] The backup logs show extremely low transfer speed: [image: 1581001993532-b51d304d-2fb6-472f-8eb9-0dbec967d49c-image.png]

    @olivierlambert Thanks again for the reply. I’m looking into it more. I think I need to add the storage directly to the VM running XO. I was trying to use a drive connected to a drive on my local network. Though it says it can talk to the drive, it does not reach it. I’m trying now to add an NFS to the XO server.

    You can avoid transferring some disk data with the [NOBAK] title in the VM disk. However, a VM snapshot isn't capable of ignoring a disk. This would require a change either in the way we do backup in XO (not using VM.snapshot, but VDI.snapshot instead) or modify XCP-ng API to support VM.snapshot with excluded disk. The first option will make quiesce snapshots impossible. The other one is a bit more complicated to realize, but not impossible. The issue already exists in our bug tracker: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/2560 julien-f created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed [Full backups] Supports `[NOBAK]` #2560

    XOA guest tools error

    This may be related to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/282 My guess is that the tools ISO was mounted into the XO VM, then updates were applied to the host that contained an update of the tools ISO, which led to the XO VM having an non-existing tools ISO still mounted. I have made a change in 8.1 to avoid that (eject all tools ISOs after updating the ISO, not just from shutdown VMs), and testing will tell us whether that's a good solution. To solve the situation, you usually just need to eject the ISO with xe vm-cd-eject, not xe vm-cd-remove, as @tuxen said. If you had a snapshot of the VM before removing the CD drive, I think restoring it should bring the CD drive back and then you can eject the CD with xe vm-cd-eject... Unless restoring the snapshot also fails. Else as tuxen said you need to recreate a CD/DVD device and attach it to the VM. iw0der created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp closed This operation cannot be performed because the specified virtual disk could not be found #282
