    I have a delta backup job with Full backup interval set to 7. If i look at the backup job results I get this: xoce (legion) Snapshot Start: 2025-07-25 03:02 End: 2025-07-25 03:02 Fiend NFS transfer Start: 2025-07-25 03:02 End: 2025-07-25 03:08 Duration: 6 minutes Size: 23.78 GiB Speed: 73.01 MiB/s Clean VM directory cleanVm: incorrect backup size in metadata Start: 2025-07-25 03:08 End: 2025-07-25 03:08 Start: 2025-07-25 03:02 End: 2025-07-25 03:08 Duration: 6 minutes Start: 2025-07-25 03:02 End: 2025-07-25 03:08 Duration: 6 minutes Type: full It says "full". If i go to backup -> restore, search for this vm, i see "full 2 delta 2" in "Available Backups" column. Yet if i press "restore" arrow i see that two full backups are of 2022 year and it looks dangerous. Documentation says about that setting "For example, with a value of 2, the first two backups will be a key and a delta, and the third will start a new chain with a full backup.". Yet, I see only VERY old full backups... Xen Orchestra, commit 19412 Master, commit 6277a, but it seems that this happens for a long time (i recently updated it to this state and the problem seems to persist ever since I began to use Xen Orchestra in 2022). Do I miss something? Do I really have fresh full backups and these a just labeled "incremental" or what? [image: 1753444452743-xoce.png]

    You can with the JSON-RPC API. The REST API is still very young, and we only started to modify objects during January release.

    @Gheppy @julien-f I have the same problem.... post 6940 Check Dashboard->Health and look at the bottom to see if the Importing VMs are still there. So far, no solution, other than to rollback to a working version.

    @cjackson The reason the login is just username, is because you've specified sAMAccountName. If you want to use email address, change this to UserPrincipleName. Obviously, verify the UPN in your AD box, but that should be the persons email address if your domain it setup correctly. I dont believe most LDAP query tools support nested group security (its a common issue). Not an excuse, just an observation btw.

    auth-ldap (v0.6.4) - LDAP authentication plugin for XO-Server

    I had a lot of trouble getting the LDAP integration to work with Active Directory domain controllers, and i kept finding this post over and over. So i wanted to share my configuration and make it easier on others trying to do the same thing in the future. Using this config i was able to get everything working, but i found a few limitations: Xen Orchestra cannot find any group members where the member has the "Primary Group" attribute set. Only direct members of a group are recognized (nested groups don't work). When signing in, i have to specify "username" instead of "username@cxlab.domain.com" Groups are created by clicking "Synchronize LDAP groups", however users are not created until they sign into XOA the first time. Users are not deleted from Xen Orchestra when they are removed from the domain. (but they can no longer log in to XOA) auth-ldap (v0.10.6) - LDAP authentication plugin for XO-Server Auto-load at server start [checked] Configuration URI: ldap://domaincontroller1.cxlab.domain.com **Certificate Authorities** Check certificate [disabled] Use StartTLS [disabled] Base: DC=cxlab,DC=domain,DC=com **Credentials** dn: cxadmin@cxlab.domain.com password: ****************** User filter: (sAMAccountName={{name}}) ID attribute: dn **Synchronize groups** [checked] Fill information (optional) Base: CN=Users,DC=cxlab,DC=domain,DC=com Filter: (ObjectClass=group) ID attribute: dn Display name attribute: cn **Members mapping** Group attribute: member User attribute: dn

    Enable NBD Backups for a network

    hi @lawrencesystems You still need to enable it in config fr now. I hope we 'll be able to improve the ui to enable it on a per backup setting later The nbd protocol use the 10809 port in TCP by default. XO only read from this port f the host. The Nbd setting is used for the whole xo, regardeless of the pool The lock have been replaced by a select, which is more self explanatory . I think the main control pint is to check if there is multiple NBD network for a VM, XO use the first one returned by the Xapi, and it may be , for example, a managemet network as opposed to a backup / high speed one Regards

    @robyt There are no logs at this time (unless executed as part of a backup), only a notification at the end of the execution. We are currently working on a global task/log system that will be used throughout XO (Restore Health Check is obviously on our todo list)
