At a certain point, I don't know when because we are talking about a home lab here. I could attach the USB HDD same as a virtual HDD and I could put exclusions on it

Question/suggestion to @julien-f and @florent

Hi, See https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/7569 ep1p created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed Backup of metadata is missing settings options for reporting failures. #7569

@Danp Yup. I did miss it... and you were right. Thanks!

@archw Ignore that entire post...user error. I have two networks that are spelled very close to the same thing and I was using the wrong one.

@olivierlambert Well, last night the backup completed just fine despite me taking no action. I updated the XO to the latest commit when I got in this morning so hopefully the issue I had back in June don't come back.

@rtjdamen NBD scales relatively well, yes.

Question for @florent

Hi @florent, also [NOBAK] marked disks are transfered and snapshot not removed. In Delta mode backups. Thanks!

Please report any CBT issues in the dedicated thread: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9268/cbt-the-thread-to-centralize-your-feedback

@florent Here is the log from that job. 2024-06-27T18_11_00.579Z - backup NG.json.txt

@tjkreidl Gotcha and thanks!. In our scenario we wouldn't have a VM on more than one SR but I understand that some people would.

The answer is yes. A fresh XO installation (or XOA deploy) that you will connect to your previous backup repository, will be able to restore everything from scratch.

This thread will be used to centralize all backup issues related to CBT: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9268/cbt-the-thread-to-centralize-your-feedback

Hello, We'll centralize CBT feedback in here: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9268/cbt-the-thread-to-centralize-your-feedback Thanks!

Got it. We might ship that in a patch release if it's bundled in our tomorrow's latest XOA release.

@DustinB I may just be blind or looking at the documentation incorrectly but I am seeing a way to create a health check only job. Anyway you can point me in the right direction? Thanks!

We have already a branch started with CBT (we had first to store the backup metadata outside the snapshot itself because we'll remove it with CBT). This work is now done and now Florent is directly working on CBT
