Hello,

Sometimes, i have on some jobs ( which run every 4 hours ).

Howerver, the previous job is finished in success

Is it possible that has a relation with the mergeWorker of backups which could be running ? if it doesn't finished his operations ?

Example of logs:

xen-orchestra      | 2025-11-27T00:44:43.487Z xo:backups:mergeWorker INFO merge in progress {
xen-orchestra      |   done: 2057,
xen-orchestra      |   parent: '/xo-vm-backups/f37e259d-beaa-7617-e6f1-be814f21e056/vdis/29e0185e-2f67-44d4-bb9e-ee2a772e2543/b09c0230-219f-4ddf-8e19-bfed1464014f/20251126T070610Z.vhd',
xen-orchestra      |   progress: 25,
xen-orchestra      |   total: 8128
xen-orchestra      | }

Is it possible to have this in the XO Tasks sections ? it's interessant to see this.

Best regards

@henri9813 This is 100% related to the merge process still running in the background. I have seen it happen myself.

@flakpyro there is an option to merge synchronously while exporting instead of after the export
in the very bottom of backup job config

it should avoid most of your current merge problems
