    @olivierlambert Yes sir, it is and I'm glad I confirmed this for myself. Thanks also for helping me understand how the VM Suspend process works. Hopefully this post helps other newbies with the same understanding in the future.

    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. Do I miss something? Do I really have fresh full backups and these a just labeled "incremental" or what? [image: 1753444452743-xoce.png]

We are currently finalizing the migration of existing endpoints, the next step will be adding new ones. We will keep you informed when it is available.

    Hi! I was able to isolate the issue: It does happen, if NBD is activated on one of the network interfaces! xe network-param-remove param-name=purpose param-key=nbd uuid=xxxxxxxx --> Disabling "useNBD" did not solve the issue. I had to disable the feature in XCP-ng

    @florent Nothing large. Either 10 or 20GB. I'm thinking it's due to the same issue as here.

    So you are using a thick provisioned storage. Any snapshot will create a base copy, but also an active disk (which will be the total size of the disk). You can't cheat on that. Transforming a snapshot into a VM will create a new active drive that will use the total size of the disk.

    @ysageev we're fisrt making the transfer from vmware work through an HTTP link in xo-cli. After this we'll do a UX, allowing a user to migrate from XO , it will probably be a three steps form : connect to an host, choose which VM(s) to migrate , transfer progress Then, depending on the priority , we may make other transport ( for example if you mounted the VMFS datastore in XO, copied files locally or through SSH) By the way, we fixed a timeout bug in xo-server, that was cutting the vmdk/ova import around the 5mn mark, you may retry the old method

    Thanks @lawrencesystems - I've finally got around to watching that video, explains the content well, quite interesting to see that happening in real time when the RAM is being land-grabbed by other VMs when things are getting full based on the different configuration settings.

    Doesn't matter, the VMware script is available in there too. Just switch to the vmware release channel and follow instructions there: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/6714/vmware-migration-tool-we-need-your-feedback/

    See https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2022/11/18/xcp-ng-8-3-alpha/#-vm-snapshot-with-disk-exclusion It's already used/supported by Xen Orchestra. If you want it for production, you'll need to wait for XCP-ng 8.3 to be available
