    I tried this on my lab (with XO 6.9.1), moving the pool master to the other host with xe pool-designate-new-master and then back. XO stayed connected both times and picked up the new master, even though Settings > Servers still showed the old host's address; on the way back it took a minute or two to catch up. I didn't test 6.2.2, and I used the CLI rather than the XO 5 Advanced tab, so my guess that your older version is the difference is only a guess. For the XVA, I'm not aware of release notes for the appliance image itself: it updates itself after import, and the notes that exist are per XO version, in the monthly blog post and the changelog, both linked from https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/getting-started/releases#release-cadence-and-channels . How often the downloadable XVA gets rebuilt I don't know, so the 2025.12 tag may just be the date of the base image, but I'd rather ask than guess.

    I ran into the same problem with DR replicas. Ignoring VMs by tag would solve the problem, but so would excluding the ip address information.

    Hi! We recieved a fix via the support after opening a ticket as suggested. Now the pool metadata backup is running smoothly again. As far as i know 6.9 will become "stable" after 6.10 is released. I'd still suggest a patch for the stable version, unless the new release is a few days. Best wishes Jacob

    @bug-meister Ah. That's cloud-init's support for templating user-data. The issue is that with these templates you only have access to the info available inside the VM itself. No outside data can be used for templating unless it is somehow passed to the VM (inject a file, set xenstore values...)

    We don't have any other report of this issue elsewhere. Double check you are on the completely latest XO version, and alternatively, try with XOA on latest channel.

    Yep, there's basically nothing. It's more SMAPI related than XAPI in the end.

    @olivierlambert Thanks for the response. It does make sense since I made some changes to the network a few days back.

    @akurzawa said in Wrong timestamp on snaphot: Hi It'a an important to know exact time of vm and snapshot - eg when recovering for an example a Active Directory or sql database. When doing so, someone can believe that restores the data from {the time visible in name}, because can be unaware of possible offset of zulu time. You already have the exact time If you aren't aware of an ISO standard format date, it's another story. But this is really standard and universal way. I suppose you meant "misinterpreting the snapshot time" which has NOT the same meaning than "incorrect time".

    @badrAZ w00t! Thank you! I look forward to the update. BTW, I went ahead and threw my updated XO CE into "production" here at home where it runs 10 VMs. So far no other issues seen by me. XCP-NG/XO.

    Have you read https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/delta_backups.html ? Use normal backup it will work. Or stick with delta and advanced option, a full every 1 backup.

    File Restore : error scanning disk for recent delta backups but not old

    Hi, I've noticed the addition of the commit about the 99 limit warning. That's good news. I am now having trouble trying to understand the meaning of the Full Backup Interval setting. I have the following scenario: Backups for the last 30 days, daily. Backups for the last 52 weeks, weekly. I want to make sure that the delta backups are not corrupt periodically (let's say once a month). I don't understand how to set the schedules, the backup retention, the full backup interval. I also need answers to the following questions, and I haven't been able to understand this from the documention. Do I need one delta backup with 2 schedules, or 2 backups with one schedule each ? I've noticed that full backup interval is per backup, whereas retention is per schedule. How do these two settings interact with multiple schedules? On what dates will the transfers be large ? How many full backups will be stored on the remote at any given time ? When will the merges happen? Thanks

    Do you get any errors that would help? You might only need to add the user correctly in /etc/sudoers
