    @gcpeters4 said: @john.c This is a good idea as well. If the previous suggestion of trying to do a DNS round robin approach doesn't work, this may be my best option. Thanks for taking the time to provide your suggestion! By the way my suggestion is recommended best practice from Microsoft for their Active Directory software and/or technology. My suggestion will be more likely to work if your DNS servers and requests have issues with Round Robin configuration. Plus with my solution you can easily add more servers as domain controllers to the cluster, as required and use replication to keep them consistent and up to date.

    Thanks for taking the time to write this up with before/after numbers. That kind of post is genuinely useful for the next person hitting slow backups. Pilow's catch looks like the important one to me: I think raising the VM's RAM on its own doesn't help much unless xo-server is also told it can use it, which is the heap-limit tip here: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/xo5/troubleshooting#memory. I could be wrong, but the recommended XOA sizing also lives at https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/xo5/xoa#xoa-vm-specifications if you want to sanity-check vCPU/RAM against what's suggested for your backup load. Good to hear acebmxer confirmed a fresh 6 GB deploy sizes the heap correctly by itself; that matches my (limited) understanding that the manual step mostly matters when you grow the VM later. Let's wait for the experts to chime in; they will know far more about squeezing the last bit of backup throughput out of XOA.

    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).

    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
