File is really missing. I was not messing with .vhd files on filesystem (actually this is the first time I saw where they are). Just remember lowering retention policy (through web UI) couple days ago if it's relative.

Pinging julien-f if it rings any bell.

That may indeed be related to a bug lowering the retention, I don't think this occurs with the new backup code, it would be interesting to test once released in xo-server.

You can take a look at this post where I explain succinctly how to check XO backup files

julien-f Backup files check found no problems, so I tried to restore again and it works. No changes or updates in XO, no changes on vhd or json files (same dates and sizes). Only think I did was detach and attach backup repository (settings - remotes) which I tried before with no luck.
