Backup fails with "Body Timeout Error", "all targets have failed, step: writer.run()"
-
@olivierlambert commit 59306

@JB this looks like an issue while reading the export part. Did you configure a default backup network in the pool ?
is there any firewall/sdn controller that can filter out some reading ?note that we have removed several point that where hiding some errors this month.
-
@florent Between one error and another, the backup sometimes succeeds.

@JB this really looks like a network issue
are the host/xoa remotes ?
-
@florent hi! Hosts/XOA on the same 192.168.0.x network.

Hi,
for several weeks, since 23 June 2026 (see below), I have been experiencing the same issue.

Looking threw the backup logs at work and it seems i might be having a similar issue with only one of my pools and it does not happen all the time....
Dates of errors... Each time if I restarted the tool stack for host 1 on the effected pool the follow run of the job would be successful until one day it fails again. Let me know if you would like for me to open a support tunel.

@florent suggesting this looks like a network issue, I took a look at my XO's server's syslog and found the error when this occurs.

undicithat the problem here? Keep in mind that 13 other instances of xo-server performed the backup without a problem at the exact same time. Some days this never happens, some days it could be 4 instances of xo-server that die the same way in executing the backup.I think it's also important to note that the instance of xo-server dying happens immediately upon the backup being started at 10 minutes after midnight. I would think that if the problem were the network itself, that there would be some timeout period before causing the xo-server instance to crash.
To answer a question asked of @jb , this is a local XCP-ng management network and there are no other backups occurring at 00:10.
