    @rtjdamen Thank you for your hint! I indeed did not enable NBD on my management interface. Somehow I did not notice that in the docs. Maybe it would be a helpful for others to mention in the docs that you need to enable NBD in: a.) the network settings b.) the vm disc settings and c.) the actual backup task in order to work. Thank you again for your quick help!!!

    Indeed, because if XO is compromised, then it could disable immutability.

    Hi, What kind of backup are you using and which version of XO source or XOA?

    @olivierlambert, Why would this issue be related to my NFS share? I can access the share without any problems, read and write operations work fine. Other NFS shares with multiple applications running are also functioning normally. I checked the XO logs and found the following: xo-server[679]: 2025-04-29T21:45:58.276Z xo:api WARN | backupNg.listFiles(...) [114ms] =!> Error: Command failed: vgchange -ay vg_iredmail xo-server[679]: File descriptor 22 (/var/lib/xo-server/data/leveldb/LOG) leaked on vgchange invocation. Parent PID 679: node xo-server[679]: File descriptor 24 (/var/lib/xo-server/data/leveldb/LOCK) leaked on vgchange invocation. Parent PID 679: node xo-server[679]: File descriptor 25 (/dev/fuse) leaked on vgchange invocation.

Use '--activationmode partial' to override. To me, this looks more like an issue with file restore than the NFS itself. It seems similar to what's reported here: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/7029 andrew64k created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra open File level restoration not working on LVM partition #7029

    @McHenry hello, thanks for the report. Can you open a suggestion on Github so we can plan it or next roadmap? Have a good day.

    I got this error on a backup, that the VM was created on 8.2 but at this point the hosts are both updated to 8.3. Is there something I am missing? I am new-ish to XCP/Xen, but really liking it. Not sure what other info to include here. I was trying to do DR. I am trying CR now, and assuming it will work based on your conversation. I don't think I really need CR in this case, I am probably only backing up this VM once a year.

    @vmpr there is a high chance that we improve the scheduler , so maybe be able to plan more precisely when the full occurs, but we will always keep one full backup as the beginning of the chain You can mitigate the risk on infinite schedule by using health check : restoring the backup automatically after the job, this ensure that , at the time of backup, the files are correct, and that if an issue occurs in the backup you can start a new chain, thus detecting a backup storage issue before needed it after having a production issue

    @olivierlambert Hyper-V has the concept of Dynamic memory as documented below. This allows a startup mem value to be specified and something similar could be used for health checks as this is only needed for the network to connect then them VM gets killed.

    @Greg_E Not sure what or why, but fresh install of everything in my lab has allowed a successful "standard" backup, I'll get into the other flavors when I have a chance as I build the lab back out. [image: 1745247353511-stuckbackup4.png]

    We ran into the same issue as well. We removed ALL snapshots of this vm and then it started working again. Comes at a cost since we had to remove the non-backup-related snapshots as well...
