    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

    @olivierlambert https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-uri a plain rpd://ip-address seems to work fine in Mac OS and iOS but more information may be needed on windows clients not sure if the uris work on all systems the same. EDIT Looks like windows doesn't support URI to RDP but Microsoft makes it work for basically every other OS. I still think its a worthwhile feature even if it is slightly less functional because Microsoft is weird.

    Normal backup jobs. In this case it is the "full" copy of the VDI I just moved to a local SR (due to maintenance on the NFS) I mentioned here https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/2247/moved-vdi-delta-backup-restarts-on-full. I see that Control Domain load is high and in top I see this: [image: 1574324430375-ea0c91a9-d64d-4403-b97e-e00103b6f7a2-image.png] At the moment it is only one disk left to transfer, but there were 3 to start with, so the load was higher in the beginning.

    Your CR issue might be related to a XO bug on master, not too a XCP-ng issue

    Hi, There is different things one must consider during CR: SR type: block based or file based? First one will be thick provisioned, so plan a lot of space (eg: local LVM, LVM over iSCSI etc.). Local ext/XFS, NFS or XOSAN aren't affected by this problem Snapshot left: to do a delta, we must have a way to compare to something. The snapshot which left on the SR is the one that will be used for the next backup. It will be compared to the current disk state and only the delta will be sent. So that's perfectly normal "Job canceled to protect the VDI chain": this is a protection to avoid doing another backup while the previous removed snapshot isn't coalesced. You have a link in the message, please refer to the documentation for details

    @mts said in Continuous Replication -> Exchange Log: If you use the native windows-backup or a third-party application it will delete the transaction-log after backup. How can I achieve the same with xen-orchestra? I'm running low on disk-space right now... I think that you confusing physical (layer) backup with logical backup. XOA can backup/replicate/snapshot phisical medium which is a hard disk presented to your VM. It has nothing to do with the data in the VM (logical layer).

    Hmm I think it might be possible using xe CLI and creating the drives manually (creating VBDs I suppose). I never spotted such a use case before, but again, might be doable It is using VNC (via noVNC in XO). You can copy a template, but a template is just a set of "configuration" for your VM (eg PV or HVM mode, some virtual BIOS settings).

    Hi, If you are using XOA, please create a support ticket. This way our teams could take a look remotely to find the best solution.

    Thanks for the tip. I was using node v8.11.4 and had issues compiling during the upgrade then upgraded to the latest stable node version which wasn't v8.x. I upgraded to v8.16.2 now and it runs fine. Thanks.

    Indeed, 6.2 uses a very old configuration for keyboard mapping and therefore doesn't work correctly with XO.
