Backup failed with obscure error message
-
I built XO today, no errors.
I then exported a VM, no issues.
I then exported another VM, and got this messageSnapshot Start: Sep 22, 2021, 12:20:51 PM End: Sep 22, 2021, 12:20:51 PM Error: VM_HAS_VUSBS(OpaqueRef:4656aff6-d202-4e6e-83e2-b40e52208203) Start: Sep 22, 2021, 12:20:51 PM End: Sep 22, 2021, 12:20:51 PM Duration: a few seconds Error: VM_HAS_VUSBS(OpaqueRef:4656aff6-d202-4e6e-83e2-b40e52208203)
All backups via SMB to Truenas (NFS I cannot get to work)
The VM in question has pass thru for a Ublox usb GPS receiver.Hypervisor for the succesfull backup is 8,1, for the failed backup 8.2 (fresh install)

Thanks, comment raised on github.

So in your case, there's nothing related to XCP-ng version (8.1 vs 8.2), it's due to the USB passthrough enabled, as @Danp said.

Using the old backup system, based on bash/cron never had an issue from pre xpp-ng to 8.2.
Trying out XOA to see if the backup regime would be easier to administer for other users, it failed on the VM with USB.
I do not know if the issue is with 8.1 or 8.2 as I never tested backup with XOA until I installed 8.2 this week.
I also do not know if it is an XOA issue.
You know my thoughts on USB handling as I have commented many times. -
The issue is to snapshot the VM while there's USB passthrough. Offline backup might work, please try.
