    @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]

    @Andrew Wanted to go ahead and add that it didn't seem slow to me to do the export, it was only 2GB, but still. It did take a bit to ramp up speed though, I got 4.5KB downloaded and then it sat there for a few minutes, but once it started downloading more data it sped up and the whole 2GB download was done in like 1-2 minutes, not crazy fast but not super slow either. I will try and test this with a bigger VM when I get the chance to see how it behaves.

    @olivierlambert Well, you were right, I was totally in the wrong folder without realizing it. However, after the rebuild it now won't start at all. Rebuilding the VM and restoring config is easy though (thanks to XO being so easy to use) so I might just do that to avoid confusion as this VM has some other issues unrelated to XO anyway.

    @Danp Good catch, can't believe I missed that. Unfortunately, that produced a new error; Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_77 Error parameters: , Logical Volume group creation failed, From some googling around it appears the issue is that the disks still have a zfs_member tag on them. lsblk -f produces this: NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT sdd zfs_memb ├─sdd2 zfs_memb data 305869021769108511 └─sdd1 zfs_memb sdb linux_ra localhost:127 1d7d1927-dfdb-c8a8-4af1-b25c2b355a7a └─md127 zfs_memb boot-pool 17799519329276801846 ├─md127p5 ext3 logs-efkbam 0deeb614-6788-45f9-92b7-0f6acc05da6d /var/log ├─md127p3 zfs_memb boot-pool 17799519329276801846 ├─md127p1 ext3 root-efkbam 62e0f462-29f8-4c2a-8df7-bed45c144a4a / ├─md127p6 swap swap-efkbam 26a6ce99-d4fd-43d1-8a27-79bddafb8707 [SWAP] ├─md127p4 vfat BOOT-EFKBAM 0B9B-C4C7 /boot/efi └─md127p2 sde zfs_memb ├─sde2 zfs_memb data 305869021769108511 └─sde1 zfs_memb sdc linux_ra localhost:127 1d7d1927-dfdb-c8a8-4af1-b25c2b355a7a └─md127 zfs_memb boot-pool 17799519329276801846 ├─md127p5 ext3 logs-efkbam 0deeb614-6788-45f9-92b7-0f6acc05da6d /var/log ├─md127p3 zfs_memb boot-pool 17799519329276801846 ├─md127p1 ext3 root-efkbam 62e0f462-29f8-4c2a-8df7-bed45c144a4a / ├─md127p6 swap swap-efkbam 26a6ce99-d4fd-43d1-8a27-79bddafb8707 [SWAP] ├─md127p4 vfat BOOT-EFKBAM 0B9B-C4C7 /boot/efi └─md127p2 sda └─sda1 So it appears my next step is sorting that out. Unfortunately the only way of clearing these tags that I've found so far seems to be wiping the drives completely and starting over? If so that's going to suck as I don't have physical access to the machine right now. If anyone has any suggestions for removing errant zfs_member tags (this machine previously hosted a TrueNAS install) without wiping the whole damn machine, I'd be eager to hear them. If not it'll have to wait until I'm back in the office I guess. Thank you again @Danp for your help.

    Well, it seems like it works if I create a snapshot and create a new VM from the snapshot on the new server. Should be workable for my need.

    @florent It looks like the restore test failed because the connection stream failed (and did not retry). It's hard to test this particular one because it is rather large. A good reminder to have more than one backup method (I do). I'll look for a XO update and see what changes. It is scheduled to do a full backup soon (as normal) to make sure issues like this are not a long term problem.

    @wahla Hello ! In XO you can search "power_state:halted", select all VMs, and start If you want to do it automatically, I think you can script it with xe, but the best way is to understand why VM are shutting down or doesn't restart

    If you want to login manually without any SSH key, you have to add a password for the account (passwd). Then you can log in with your Debian user with this password.

    @Danp I'll do some more digging on this once I have some time and see if I can find anything in the logs. I didn't have a chance to look yesterday when I was working on this. It might be worth noting that I was trying to setup an S3 remote, not sure if it would happen with another one and maybe it has something to do with timing out (was trying to hook into Backblaze which doesn't seem to be working right either, works fine on all my other machines running TrueNAS and stuff but can't get it connected with XCP-ng, other S3 places like Wasabi and Amazon work fine though). I'll update this thread with more info once I do some more testing, might have time this weekend but not sure yet, and this is in a production environment, so I do want to be careful about causing potential issues.

    Zstd is for XVA file format compression. There's no compression on delta, because we need to merge them on destination, when retention is reached (inside the backup repository). So it doesn't really worth it (since you'll have to decompress them to do the merge).

    Hello, mtill ! In this situation, you may try to recover the stored data on the RAM because, in your case, the data was overwritten in the RAM. The number of recovered files by this method depends on the RAM size, the size of files that was overwritten by this way and by the time running this process. I can suggest you use a specialized recovery service like raid recovery service to ensure that you will restore more data you can. I wish you a bit of good luck.

    I agree, I don't think it's a technical limitation, just a use case not "covered"
