      Please read very carefully the interface. "Server" is already filled with the IP. So the path only need to contain the rest (/volume1/NFS). And that's it!

          Great! That's fine. You can see your backup in the VM backup/restore tab 🙂

            @olivierlambert Thanks. What do you suggest how I can test the backup.

              @olivierlambert Is the a way to label the back in the remote server?

                It's not meant to be managed "manually". You manage them via Xen Orchestra. The good news is that any Xen Orchestra is able to read the file structure out of the box, even a fresh XO your re-deploy or rebuild.

                  To test the backup: I'm assuming it's not a backup health check but more "testing if I'm able to restore a VM". So… just restore a VM 🙂 It won't remove the existing one.

                    @olivierlambert It's normal backup. Thanks

                      So yeah, go in the backup view, restore tab, and restore a VM to check that it works, it should be pretty straightforward 🙂
