Mirror backup: No new data to upload for this vm?

Forza

I am testing the mirror backup feature. I see a message "New new data to upload for this VM" although it is clearly transfering data.

I am using XOA on stable channel.

I noticed too that both mirror backup and full backup do not actually copy all backups.

This shows the source Remote on the left and destination remote on the right. I made sure the retention setting in the mirror backup is high enough to not exclude anything, yet we are not getting everything transferred:

Se also the same for full mirror backups: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/11624/mirror-of-full-backups-with-low-retention-copies-all-vms-and-then-deletes-them/

Hi @Forza,

Could you send us a screenshot of your backup job configuration so we can try to reproduce?

@Bastien-Nollet

Here is the incremental backup config. Originally we only had the remote called srv04-incremental. I have now added srv12-incremental and wanted to copy over all existing backups to the new remote. I did the same with full backups too. Now I have each backup job using both remotes.

Thanks @Forza,
I'll try on my own with a similar configuration.

@Forza

As the named are greyed-out, could you confirm that the delta backup job saves the backup to remotes srv04-incremental and srv12-incremental, and the mirror backup job copies the backups from srv12-incremental to srv04-incremental? (or at least confirm these are the same couple of remotes)

Also, could you tell me if the VM with which you got the "No new data to upload for this VM" message was backed up by your backup job "Incremental backup every 4 hours - 8 days retention"?
