Backup VM with hardware passthrough
-
I have the following scenario :
VM has:- sda where is the OS
- sdb where there are data
- sdc a HDD on USB passthrough where are backups
I want to back up only to sda, but it gives an error.
Configuration is like this

Your removable device doesn't support to have any snapshot.
- By default, when calling
VM.snapshot, the XCP-ng API (XAPI) will try to snap every disk of the VM. - Then, XO will only export the disk snapshots without [NOBAK]

Your issue is in 1. We fixed this via a contribution into XAPI, but it will be only in XCP-ng 8.3. It's already working in XO. See https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-5-78/#

It is home lab but ... (I don't want to lose everything ) it is safe to go for 8.3
Can I do upgrade from command line and not use iso CD -
Update to 8.3 with boot CD, all is ok and backup is done with success.
Thank you -
This is precisely why we did that feature in Xen API
Enjoy! -
