    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]

    I thought I did that. Oh I see whats happening. My cold moves are freaking out. The first time, I restarted the toolstack for the server I was working on the # of tasks dropped by 50% or so. as soon as I tried my cold move of a VM again, im up to 50-60 tasks again. Going from Xen 7.1 to XCP 7.6. and a Xeon 2630 V3 to a 2620 V0. Which I know is a bad idea, hence the cold move.

    You have a transparent proxy, it does not hide its identity, so web resources see that the request is not coming directly from the user but from the proxy. In addition, the real IP address is also visible, so there is no anonymity. Usually, educational institutions use this type of server to filter incoming and outgoing content and cache information. It's better to use thailand proxy, which will encrypt you from the inside.

    Not sure yet if it has to do with me deleting one template to try... However, the duplicated templates have disappear after the update of XOA to 5.74.3! Maybe a restart of the service would have achieved the same!? At the end, it seems to come from XOA rather than the pool. I suggest to remove and add the master from the server settings to see if this does not clean up something in the cache/DB on XOA...

    @florent Yes, thanks! We have very limited control over rsync at our end (as it's running within a Synoloy NAS) - I think we probably have to just live with large transfers for now - whilst looking at spit files / VHD's as the way to go in the future. Thanks again!

    @AtaxyaNetwork Thanks for your guidance. I can create a lightweight Debian VM with an NFS share for the ISOs. But even so it is strange that the drive is not known by the XO. Maybe other people can comment on this later.

    @furyflash777 I'm assuming you're on Ubuntu? Indeed as Olivier said this is tested on Debian and doesn't cause issues, but it seems on the newer Ubuntu versions with cloud-init, the new Netplan based network manager and how it interacts with cloud-init breaks/gets wiped if no cloud-init drive is found. Yet another cloud-init bug to track down

    Hi, "It depends" is the answer here Depends on: the number of concurrent users on your XO instance the size/frequency/number of backup jobs you have the number of hosts and VMs managed by XO Frankly, for a small setup (less than 4/5 hosts) with one users and few backup jobs, the default 2vCPU/2GiB RAM is enough. Especially since we improved various process to happen in a dedicated worker

    @lawrencesystems We added the healthcheck for full backup (here : https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6401 ) Also we removed our js smb implementation ( https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/commit/b50e95802c6a876d4e6ffd0c62c209a187b1bfb2 ) to try to circumvent the strange samba comportment fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed fix(backups): add healthcheck to full backup #6401 0 julien-f committed to vatesfr/xen-orchestra feat(fs): remove JS based SMB handler It's not well tested nor maintained.

    There's no black magic As @ronivay said, you need to tell the filesystem inside your VM that the disk grew. On Cloudinit-enabled VM, there's an auto-grow parameter that is checking at each boot if the disk was extended, and will automatically do it for you. But again, that's inside the VM. Keep in mind: it's not the job of the virtualization system to deal with what's inside the VM

    No Hosts Available When Creating New VM

    @olivierlambert Thanks for that information, will use it next time I run into the issue. Before I read your above reply, I was poking around and noticed that the only SR I had added was disconnected, somehow. So I researched into it and discovered that this was my own doing. Without going into too much detail, I had converted my Active Directory environment from a Zentyal server to a Windows Server and I was hosting the SMB share on the old domain controller. So I had made a DNS error which was causing the SR to not be reachable from the XCP-ng host. So I deleted the SR and recreated it and viola I was able to create the VM. Honestly, I'm not sure how the two are connected since I'm not storing any disks on this SR; I only use it for ISOs which I mount into the newly created VM to install an OS and then I eject it. Long story short, my problem is solved but I'm still confused as to how it happened.
