    Hello, Just a feedback. I am having trouble using CBT Backups with NBD. Host Details: XCP-NG Version : 8.3 latest (stable) Xen Orchestra: latest:stable (From Source) The first full backup always seems to work. The delta backup gives the error: 'HANDLE_INVALID' the writer IncrementalXapiWriter has failed the step writer.checkBaseVdis() with error HANDLE_INVALID(VBD, OpaqueRef:xxxxx). It won't be used anymore in this job execution. Start: 2026-08-09 14:01 End: 2026-08-09 14:01 Duration: a few seconds Error: HANDLE_INVALID(VBD, OpaqueRef:xxxxxx) This is a XenServer/XCP-ng error

    @gsszuber Hi, Yes indeed, you need to preserve the root of the bucket from Lifecycle. We just had a customer with a similar issue. Can you help us by giving a small screenshot of the field to filter out the root (or filter in the three folders) please?

    @acebmxer Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! I will wait until Veeam issued a new (hotfix) release before evaluating Veeam as a replacement for Xen Orchestra Backup.

    @florent No explicit assigned migration or backup network set. Backups generate errors somewhat randomly. As one VM won't get the "error" one time. But on the next backup run it will. And the third time it might not. This even happens on VMs that are turned off, and therefore shouldn't have any changed bytes between backups. Host is reachable from XO Network has NBD enabled All VMs use VHD IPv4 Backup type is Delta

    @acebmxer we are far more explicit on the real usage of NBD, paing the way to mark a failed NBD connexion as an error in a few month also working on a diagnostic tool to be more efficient on the checks thank you all for your time

    Doing some more testing it doesn't seem to matter how many pools i have in the metadata backup job, it will hang and time out after 20 mins. I am also seeing this on my home install with XO from sources after updating to the latest commit.

    @poddingue said: I haven't used that tab myself, and since it's built around VMs that do have backups, I don't know if it gives you the negative view you want. If it doesn't, https://feedback.vates.tech is where that gets counted. Maybe you can build some sort of filter but I don't think so. I'll use https://feedback.vates.tech for future suggestions. Tks

    Anyone who is using Commvault to back up VMs please tell me what you are using for credintials since you have to connect directly to a pool? I am looking for a way to backup VMs using Commvault and us AD accounts or OIDC.

    XO 6.7.0 went out on 30 July, and the changelog carries Bastien's fix under Backups as "Fix failed status on successful retry", pointing at PR https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/10129 and back at this thread: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-6-7/. Given what you said about keeping the backup XOA on a version you trust, I would not rush it, but that is the version to look for when you do move. I have not exercised the retry path myself, so if a retried VM still reports the job as failed after you upgrade, it is worth saying so here.

    So I ended up going with the Windows B&R as i could net setup the windows mount server when setting up the repo for the backups. It would setup the linux one but not the windows one. This was with using the veeam console from a windows client. So i ended up with the Windows one. Now after a few backups i am see this warning / error.... 8/5/2026 5:34:50 PM Warning : Failed to use CBT: [Task e75c4247-2ee1-7b51-088c-b970ace60f3d (Async.VDI.list_changed_blocks) failed: . SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_460. . Failed to calculate changed blocks for given VDIs. [opterr=Source and target VDI are unrelated] First i thought it was because i maped the new job to older backups from Beta v1. So i purged all old backups and started fresh. The full backups were successful. Now on first delta 4 out of 7 vms have that warrning. This a Veeam issue or xcp-ng?

    This might have worked, at that time i've allready created new VMs from the information inside the Backup xml file. It worked out allright but building VMs this way, is quite tidious. Maybe there could be a way to find the correct installer and patches, to get a new host in a state to restore a pool backup, would be good.
