daily Continuous Replication backup in XO

[julien-f]

@Danp can you show me the full config of your job please?

[Danp]

@julien-f Here's a screenshot. Let me know if that isn't what you meant.

[julien-f]

@Danp Perfect, thank you for your help

I think this may be an old issue that has become visible since https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/4497

julien-f created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

closed Report backup as failed or skipped if already running #4497

[julien-f]

@Danp Please open a support tunnel in the appliance having the issue, I would like to check the database directly:

xoa support tunnel

[julien-f]

I think I understand how the job can run twice.

What I still don't understand though is how the job can run so soon (14 seconds before) or even exactly one minute before scheduled…

[julien-f]

FYI: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/4625

julien-f created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

closed [cron] Dont run before schedule #4625

[julien-f]

We've just merged a potential fix, if you could try it that would be great

[Danp]

@julien-f Unfortunately, my experience with this latest fix has not been a positive one --

• GUI is unresponsive (spinning graphic only)
• Backup job kicks off improperly (scheduled for midnight)
• Weekly XO report has been generated multiple times
• Timeout show in logs

[julien-f]

Thanks for your feedback, I'm not sure it's related to the fix itself but we are investigating

[julien-f]

Indeed, there is a major issue with the fix, I'm on it.

Sorry for this

[julien-f]

The fix has been merged

@Danp Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your feedback.

[Danp]

@julien-f Much better, thanks!

Only minor issue I observed is that there appears to be a minute delay between the time the job starts and the UI is updated to reflect that the job is active.

[julien-f]

@Danp Probably unrelated, do you mind creating an issue on GitHub for this? We'll investigate.

[julien-f]

@Danp Are you talking abouth Legacy backups or Backup NG?

[Danp]

@julien-f Backup NG

[moradin]

Hi

I had exatly the same problem when I upgrade one of my four server from xenserver 7.1 to xcp-ng 8.0, one backup failed with error: job already running and the other finish normaly later!

I upgrade Xo from 5.51 to 5.54 and it's Ok for this problem BUT I have a new problem, the cold backup to NFS and the Continuous replication to a Xcp-ng 8 server are REALLY slow !! One exemple:

I try to upgrade debian OS, upgrade VM (4cpus 3Go ram) but same problem for the moment

Thanks in advance

Edit: I do a manual test by copy an iso of 2G locally on the virtual machine Xen orchestra, to the same connected NFS for backup, and the performance is normal, 10 seconds for 2Go, it seems to be a problem with Xen orchestra system backup?
