Backup cancelled still marked as successful
-
Hi,
I tried to run a full backup of a large VM but I cancelled the [XO] VM export task half way (from the Tasks page). Even though the backup was not completed successfully as it exported only about 50% of VM, XO marked backup as successful. It seems like a bug in the XO, could you please help with that?
Cheers,

Hi,
Full backup, you mean XVAs?
-
Yes, XVAs.
XO tried to restore VM from that backup but failed with the error IMPORT_ERROR_PREMATURE_EOF().

There's 2 reasons:
- XAPI doesn't tell us if the transfer is complete or just cut. We just stop to receive chunks, and after a bit, we decide that's it, there's no more data to send (that's the normal behavior even when it works!)
- XVAs are hard to validate, depending on various factors. We do a VHD validation (so for delta backup) but XVAs are another thing
