      Hello,

      I've setup and scheduled full VMs, XO config, and pool metadata backups.

      Pool metadata and XO config backups were started automatically and run successfully.

      VMs backup does not start automatically. When started manually, the VMs backup runs successfully.
      The screenshot is uploaded in my next post.

      Why the backups are not being started?
      How to diagnose the failure of XO to start the backup automatically?

      Thank you,
      Alex.

            @aqua-calc You have this job running every minute, is that what you intended? Is it possible that the backup job is simply already running and can't continue with another execution.

              @DustinB Not every minute, but only at 1:00AM of every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

              And no, the job is not running.

              Also, I have the same schedule for my Pool Metadata and XO Config backups, which are get started and run successfully.

                @aqua-calc Is your XO up-to-date? What commit?

                Have you checked the logs? https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/troubleshooting.html#logs

                  @Danp The log is empty -- no messages. I've changed the schedule to run at a different time -- waiting to hit that time...

                    @aqua-calc said in Full VM backup is scheduled but not started:

                    The log is empty

                    Please check on the CLI.

                      @Danp There were no entries regarding backup listed by the journalctl command for the target backup time.

                      I've updated my XO to commit 16498, and restarted the XO VM. The backup ran ok Today.

                      Thank you @DustinB and @Danp for responding to my post!
