I had to bring the VM offline and do a VM copy, now the new one can snapshot/backup.

@florent and @olivierlambert I think it can wait until XO6. I dont have sperate test servers at the office so if I need to spin up a test machine i may want to back it up for testing but not to cloud backup as its only test. Tagging would make this easy since you have tagging implanted. As a work around i could create separate backup jobs for those less important vms.

@Pilow This one should be doable, I am adding it to our backlog

different platform have different internal , and so different edge case. We are here to help to bridge the gap.

No problem, you are welcome!

@Pilow Double checked. There's no filter in place and no new VM.

@florent It seems the Type: delta display during Backup fell back to a full may just be a display issue as it does seem to run a full copy.

@olivierlambert not by me

Impossible to tell yet, more in few months.

thanks for advice, i'll keep my minIOs running

@Bastien-Nollet Thanks as always @florent

@CodeMercenary hello and thanks for this idea! We will discuss about it with @clemencebx and see what we can propose on new XO-6 design and workflow.

Sometimes it when asking questions as well as hallucinating ChatGPT, can respond with results based on old versions (not updated for an up to date code base). So if any past in development or experimental code branch, had its code and was mistakenly released. Then the mistake was found and fixed, it can have found its way into the training data set. Can also be an example of training data set poisoning, forcing it to give misleading or mistaken responses, due to it hallucinating as a result.

Thanks everyone for their help. I believe I have a way forward now.

Thank you everyone for your feedback, really appreciated!

That sounds interesting, the backups are on a new remote on a new Minio-instance so the issue is handled for now. I guess we will see over time if the backup times increases.

@acebmxer Hello, We’re aware of the Backblaze rate limits and this isn’t the first time it’s been raised. We’ll be looking into this on the XO side, studying different options such as caching restore points to reduce API calls. Longer-term improvements, possibly tied to advanced XO6 dashboards, are more of a 2026 horizon. Thanks for bringing this up!

Partly, I will see when back from vacation Anyway, unrelated to XO

@jimmymiller i just noticed one of your pics of the backup had NDB enabled. (says exporting content of VDI shifter through NBD. Can you check in your backup job if NDB is on? [image: 1755550405681-f90df5d8-81e6-4404-ba28-c337c0702aad-image.png] I would turn it on and off a few times and leave it off then save the job and retry. There was issues with NDB gui in prior version that might be still affecting your test backup job.

@cairoti you should be able to add it as a remote ( not as a storage repository on xcp-ng)
