    @paco On the stuck server, could you warm migrate the vms to one of the other hosts? Or could you shut down a VM at a time and cold migrate them? The second option is certainly not ideal, but maybe?

    Hi, Latest XOA, with fully patched XCP 8.3 here. I'm fiddling around again with NBD+CBT in backup jobs (was avoiding CBT for a time, to reliably control my backups and avoid unnecessary KEY points) in the context of THICK SRs to spare some space. I know that CBT is reset when migrating from one SR to another. But here is what I encounter : VM has no CBT enabled on its VDIs, it is on a SHARED SR in a pool of 3 hosts backup option changed for NBD+CBT, was only NBD before CBT is enabled on the next run by the backup job, I get a delta (was expecting a FULL ?) next run, delta, as expected i migrate this VM on another HOST, without changing its SR CBT is immediatly disabled ? why ?? next run of backup it tries a delta, but "fall back to a full" (normal as CBT has been disabled...), and do a KEY point on the remote next run is a delta as expected does this mean if I do a rolling pool update or host maintenance that will move the all VMs around, all CBT will be disabled and I should expect a FALL BACK TO FULL on all my NBD+CBT enabled backup jobs ??! why disabling CBT on a change of HOST and no move of SR ?

    Sounds doable, but it's another feature in the backlog We really need to move forward with XO 6. However, can you: check if there isn't already something in XO Github repo on that topic if not, please create it This way, we are sure it won't disappear

    @stevezemlicka Thanks for mentioning this and reporting your "mistake" on the forums. I had been banging my head against the wall for a day before finding this post and realising the obvious.

    What do you mean by moving? Moving the disk or just the VM memory?

    Okay, cool down and let me explain a bit That's because those templates are not part of Xen Orchestra software itself, because those VM templates are things we build and assemble on our part, then upload to our own servers, hosted for people registered with the virtual appliance (XOA). So using XO from the sources is not losing any XO features because XOA hub templates aren't part of it This is extra stuff outside XO scope, that we give for free for our XOA users (yes, XOA Free users). So we do not get any money for this. It's just operating systems pre-configured with Cloudinit installed (or sometimes not). Again, it's not part of XO itself, and nothing prevent you to build your own templates, ready with Cloudinit. I hope it's more clear now.

    @olivierlambert said in Warnings & errors in journalctl: Do you have multiple XOs accessing the same remote? There's only one backup job running from my XO VM. There is an active instance of XOA, but it is just used for testing and is sitting idle.

    You need to restart the service as root/sudoer, eg sudo systemctl restart xoa-updater. Note that you can have XOA support with our ticket system, even on XOA Free If you want someone at Vates dedicated to your issue, please create a ticket!

    Since the update I have run full backup that have taken over an hour to complete due to their size and many smaller delta backups and the error has not come up again. I assume whatever was causing the error was fixed in the xo-server 5.84.2 update.

    @dariosplit said in Copy an existing backup: For example in pfsense I copy the firewall rules and change the name of it, and of the port while everything stays the same. I have a lot of VM and for each VM i have several rules for backup, (time and place). I would remove copy it just a unnecessary repeat I have been using tags together with smart backup. This works really well.

    "Recovery" is only an option for PV guest (not HVM), when you want to re-use the initial bootloader. It has nothing to do to recover anything else. You should be in HVM for all your VMs by the way, it's more secure and even faster.

    @heman said in XO from sources compile warnings: Deprecation Warning: Using / for division is deprecated and will be removed in Dart Sass 2.0.0. FWIW, I see the same warnings. I imagine this is a "known issue" as far as the developers are concerned.

    I think yes (I don't see why, if it's recent enough), but you won't have support in any case (as you'll use the version from the sources anyway).
