    Thanks for the information. @Chico008, does the information at https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2025/10/30/xcp-ng-8-3-varstored-update-unbootable-vm-risk-and-remediation/ resolve the issue for you?

    Whelp had 2 of them get stuck, and one fail from the automated backup this time. The first one where it failed completely doesn't happen very often, so I'm less worried about it. Just including it in case it might be relevant. [image: 1761925465159-98feeae2-c301-4c92-bb33-bb4a029b0bc3-image.png]

    @julien-f The new update seems to be working correctly now. Thanks for the quick update fix. The backup cache fixes/cleanup made a huge difference (improvement). I was trying to figure out what was going on with my backups as they were running but were missing from the restore list. After the cache cleanup, it showed 3-4 times the number of restore points! All the missing stuff and more. It took some time to clean up all the extra stuff, but backups seem to be back on track again.

    @anturk What errors do you see in /var/log./SMlog related to this? Have you run ifconfig or netstat to look for network transmission errors? Is this a new setup and if so, are you sure the cables are of good quality? Is this a dedicated NIC or is it part of a VLAN?

    @olivierlambert I blew away the docker container and did a fresh build of XO from source on a *buntu box. Issue resolved itself with that. Must be a bad build in the docker.

    You can't login to our servers with your source version (from Git), you must download the virtual appliance. If you can't access https://xen-orchestra.com internally, then, indeed, you won't be able to register it in the end. But if you managed to clone it from Github, you have some access to outside

    @KPS You can use xo-cli --list-objects type=VM. Also you should only get the backup logs once and join with the VM list, because backupNg.getLogs is heavy.

    @olivierlambert Yep, thanks. OP edited to direct link to XOA NTP documentation for those who need that. There was no clear distinction in my mind. Apologies for any confusion caused.

    @Danp My fault, I just did register here. When I click on register on my XOA, I was pointed to the forum, so I thought it is the same account. Thank you, that solved my problem.

    @SpoonyLove @olivierlambert For usb passthrough we are using USB redirector over network For anything storage related we use something like this: mkdir /adm/passSR passUUID=`xe sr-create name-label="Direct access SR" name-description="Direct acces to hdd with simlink" type=udev content-type=disk device-config:location=/adm/passSR` ln -s /dev/sdb /adm/passSR/sdb xe sr-scan uuid=$passUUID xe vdi-list sr-uuid=$passUUID Remember to replace /dev/sdb with your device.

    Participating on the forum is a totally acceptable form of contribution. And to be clear: you have the choice. The choice to do nothing, or to help the project to grow. It's really up to you Freedom of choice is great! Everyone can contribute, spread the word and advocate for our solutions. And believe me, if everybody does, we stand a chance against those juggernauts (VMware for example). Also, you have my words, and I'm not afraid to tell that publicly: every $ we make is 100% re-invested into our projects. No big VC nor investors asking for insane ROI.

    Thanks! I tried the ESC option but could never get it to work. I thing the UEFI is set to 0s waiting time for boot options, which makes it tricky to time it.

    @sgroel Curious. Are all the NICs the same on the existing pool hosts as well as the new host you add? Do all hosts have the same hotfix levels and the same overall hardware architecture? Seems odd as I ran servers this way for years. Maybe also look at the network switches to make sure they are all configured correctly. Finally, any clues in the /var/log files?

    Full Backup Successful But In Kilobytes

    @Darkbeldin I checked the xensource.log on the server and found the error message "failed with exception Server_error(INVALID_DEVICE, [ autodetect ])" during export, similar to the post here: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/4319/invalid_device-autodetect-during-backup I checked the XO dashboard health and found 256 "Pool Metadata Backup" VDIs attached to Control Domain. Not sure how or why the "Pool Metadata Backup" got stuck attached to Control Domain but I guess it has reached the 256 limit. I "Forget" all of them and full backup seems to be working now. For the record, it wasn't anything to do with snapshots. The VM was OFF so I guess it doesn't need to take a snapshot before transfer hence the log doesn't mention snapshot.
