    @Milenko if this is a definitive migration pathway for you, you can force start the replica VM, no problem, you can even delete the replica snapshot. Just disable the job at source, it will create a new replica VM otherwise if it is just a test boot of the replica, fast clone it, and start the fast clone (beware of double ip addressing while doing so... source VM should be halted, or replica clone should be started without network)

    @florent Thanks for your reply! We have started to migrate thousands of VMs, so disk transfer speed is important for us.. We will also do our detailed tests soon with different threads setting and publish it here. I think threads=1 is a good and logical default, but not efficient. Others might complain if you set it to a higher value. Configuration option would be a real good solution.

    @pierrebrunet I have updated my XOA and Proxies... It seems i did not see the warning on the next round of backups. Will continue to monitor now patches are installed.

    @poddingue Confirmed working, thank you so much for the heads-up, this made my day! Got it wired into the n8n flow and it's running perfectly. One gotcha for anyone else landing here, name_description gets rejected with a 422 "excess property", it has to be nameDescription. Working body: { "nameDescription": "nginx, app-1, app-2 | 2026-06-01" }

    We are investigating an elegant solution called RunX. Basically, it might be able to transparently any standard "container stack" (Docker and/or k8s). See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m95hojMtsU There's some work to adapt that to XAPI, but it might be doable. This means XCP-ng could be "container" native while having very good level of isolation with very small VMs (only few MiB overhead).

    This is simple enough so we'll implement it in XO 5. Thanks for the feedback!

    5.79.3 / 5.81.0 All of my backups work (now), and speeds range between 5 MB/s to 20 MB/s. Most of my VM's are smaller (zstd helps a lot), though the largest archive is about 80 GB. Also, all of my backups are sequential -- I seem to remember a previous note where somebody had problems with concurrent uploads. My XOCE VM runs with 12 GB, which was the number that "just works" according to some of my earlier problems (and I haven't bothered to chase down or fine tune further).

    @olivierlambert having exactly the same issue as wcom939 reported. What did you mean by "Can you try with xe command to see if you have the same error?" ? Migrate using CLI? there are too many options:)

    @danp thank you, but in our case the 2nd remote is a hypervisor? I dont know how we should run the backup first then copy the VHD files to the the 2nd hypervisor as continuous replication also creates a VM? I am sure that if I can limit the amount of VM's that is exported once (it's currently 2) then the backups for the large VM should complete. Is there a setting available for this?

    Thanks both, agreed, in hindsight this should be configured on the VM itself as it could lead to unexpected issues (like maintenance and having VM's start by themselves) Thanks for the input

    Here is a good explanation: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xencenter/7-1/dmc-about.html Static can only be set while the VM is offline. Dynamic can be changed in live. When you'll live migrate a VM, it will be decreased to the dynamic min. So take care to use a value that's higher than your VM operating system minimum RAM usage.

    That's a way to do it. Use smart backup on tags. Eg a tag called "delta only" and a tag "delta+CR", so you'll be sure to assign the right tag to your VM

    No. The parent folder. XO will search for the folder xo-vm-backups directly edit: if your share was previously <NFS_IP>:/myshare, then you should use this very same one, and NOT <NFS_IP>:/myshare/xo-vm-backups
