    @Razor_648 While I was writing my previous message, I have been reminded that there are also issues with LVHDoISCSI SR and CBT, you should disable CBT on your backup job and on all VDI on the SR. It might help with the issue.

    I have a couple Delta backups that target the same remote. Yesterday I set up a Mirror backup between that remote and another remote. When I ran the Mirror backup yesterday, it was successful. Today 7 of the VMs succeed in the backup but 5 of them fail with: Missing vdi <guid> which is a base for a delta Could this be caused by the fact that the target for the Mirror backup used to be a target for the Delta backup so it has files on it already. Do I need to purge the folder entirely? I thought maybe that would give it a head start and the reason I'm using the Mirror backup is because the Delta backup used to fail randomly on random VMs when backing up to both remotes. How would I go about diagnosing this? I assume since the guid for the vdi is missing, it's going to be hard for me to find since I can't find something that's missing. Alternatively, maybe it's because it's currently a weird mix of old Delta backups and new Mirror backups and maybe over the next few days it will purge enough old stuff that it will start working cleanly. Should I delete the entire remote target of the Mirror to get it started cleanly? Or, more likely, delete all backups on that Mirror for the 5 VMs that failed with this error.

    @StephenAOINS This endpoint is not currently present in our REST API swagger, but we do plan to add it to the list of endpoints. 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.

    This means your NFS server doesn't support NFSv3.

    This is not exposed in XAPI, so it might require to write a XAPI plugin.

    @mrnaz look for the (first) error in your terminal where you execute the script to upgrade. Probably you need to upgrade the yarn or node version.

    @mauzilla I've done so that I have two separate backup jobs incremental every 4 hours, with exception on weekends. Retention usually 8 days weekly full backups, zstd compression, every Sunday night. This way we have a separate backup from the incremental chain. We also are able to do more maintenance jobs on the nfs server etc during the off hours on the weekend.

    @olivierlambert Thanks, We had been looking at Terraform so I guess we'll keep heading down that path for the time being.

    @vmpr Not much, this is a system issue which means that it's either due to your NFS server or to the connection between your XO and the NFS server. First, try to unmount the share and restart xo-server, if it keeps happening, restart the whole machine on which XO is. If that does not help, you should mount the share manually and do some tests directly on it.

    Most users are relying NFS shares. However, we are open to build something for tapes. The problem is: we have no knowledge on that technology nor have any tape system in our lab. If there's enough traction for this, or even sponsored dev to do it, we'll be happy to work on that!

    @olivierlambert XO does not test the full VHD structure because that would be too long, but does check both the begining and the end of the file (and all other VHDs in the chain) before each backup to make sure the files were not truncated. For full backup we are using a simple heuristic to attempt to validate XVA files, but it's very basic and unfortunately it does not applies to compressed files.
