Other Backup Jobs run without issues.

@jacob.becker On the latest channel for XOA updates version 6.9 (6.9.0) has a fix for Body Timeout Error issue, no sign of a fix in 6.8.0 to 6.8.2 version series. Change channel and you’ll have the fix or open for Vates staff via PM a support tunnel access so they can patch your 6.8.2 with the one specific for this version.

This is an SERIOUSLY urgent action to fix the backup issue, but the Critical part is that it also fixes an important security vulnerability (VSA-2026-044).

There's a similar report on 6.8 in https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/12453, where @flakpyro said it got fixed through a support ticket and that @florent would know the exact fix.

I read through the 6.9.0 changelog, but I couldn't find an entry about metadata backups or Body Timeout Error, so I can't confirm that moving to the latest channel fixes it, though it may have gone in without a changelog line.

If you have a support contract, a ticket that points at that thread might be the quickest way to the patch Florent made.

It is in the 6.9.0 change log but not where you might expect, even as a backup bug fix. In this case it’s filed under the miscellaneous (misc) section as “Fixed: BodyTimeoutError during long transfers”. Given where it is in the change log you may have missed it.

If it isn’t in the change log then why is it in the release announcement?
