    @Bastien-Nollet said in Full backup - new long-retention options: Yes, a backup is kept if it matches one of the retention criteria, either the schedule's retention or the LTR. (the backup is not duplicated, we just check for both criteria to know if we should keep the backup or not) Could we have an option to choose wich LTR day from month to keep ? and even for weekly, what weekday ?

    @hannes Full backup interval (and Force full backup in the schedule settings) forces the job to do a full export of the disk and not a delta based on a previous one. It is not impacted by the retention as XO will always makes sure every chain has at least a full export at the beginning so that all backups are viable. Which means you will have multiple full backups, always one at the beginning, and, those that have been triggered by the settings above.

    @mauzilla I personally think having the CR job operate between 2 different pools is a better idea. I am curious though, are these servers located in the same physical location? If so why not try going with high availability instead of a CR job? https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xenserver-and-vm-high-availability/ I haven't really done HA setups with XCP-ng before, so can't really speak to how good it is. But IMO CR and other backup jobs like that are more meant for geo replication and stuff like that (i.e. a disaster recovery scenario with some offsite XCP-ng host). Which is why I'm asking about location, personally don't see the benefit to CR if in the same physical location, I'd be more interested in HA at that point. This is just my two cents though.

    In general, it's easier to start on XOA (you can have a free trial with all features) to discover the ecosystem. Because XOA is more tested and also comes with an updater AND a way to give us access remotely to investigate a problem. So please deploy an XOA and report if it's better On which commit are you right now? Are you on the right version of node? (that's the questions you wouldn't have to answer if you were on XOA for example )

    Hi, This is an error regarding your certificates, which are self-signed. I'm afraid it's not related to XO itself. I suppose you can only use self signed certs in your context?

    @olivierlambert There are lots of messages about: unable to parse XAPI datetime "2023-03-01T12:41:47.000Z" But nothing about the upgrade process. I was able to upgrade hosts 2+3 without any problem - but not automatically

    @olivierlambert to not create new topic, small continue here. timeout option still ignored. probably because of network problems i got backup error and job hangs every day. doesn't matter why it happens, but job will never get terminated by timeout. 21h job with 7h timeout. https://pastebin.com/U5HgKEzM just 1 Gb.

    @cookie-eater2000 make sure your Xen Orchestra also has a connection on the 10GB network (IP address on the xo vm)
