Long Backup Task Goes Away from List
-
I have a long backup task (initial replica) where a VM has 10 2TB disks attached to it. The initial backup takes around 4 days. After a day or so, the task goes away in the task list. The backup continues. I am not sure it will complete (I am 1.5 days in). Is there some filter that is removing long tasks from the list?

You can check task list on XCP-NG host with command
xe task-list status=pending -
I found out you can extend the timeout using this method by logging into each xcp-ng node:
Create a special file:
nano /etc/xapi.conf.d/increase-task-timeout.confPaste this in here: (example for 10 days)
# set XAPI task timeout to 10d pending_task_timeout = 864000Then, restart the stack:
xe-toolstack-restart -
This is documented in our official doc IIRC
