      Running environment:

      1. host A ,host b be installed xcp-ng 8.2, which are standalone servers
      2. xoa version 5.62.1

      Testing process:

      1. I perform a full backup of a running vm on host A, where the snapshot mode is set to with memory.
      2. I was on host B and used this backup to restore, but instead of restoring it as a vm, it became a template.

      My question is: why XOA did not restore the backup to a vm, but a template

        Hmm weird, it shouldn't be a template 🤔 @julien-f ?

          I get this too with some back ups but not all. Not had chance to work out what results in what though 🙄

            @ninghe This is curious, you're sure you did a full backup (XVA) and not a delta backup?

                @ninghe Are A and B identical servers? No shared storage? Does it work if you use normal snapshot mode?
