        On 25 dec, I "installed" a debian vm, but without installing anything, only the iso attached.
        I ran 7+ manual backups to see if the 7 retension was working, it did.
        I then let the job run on schedule from 26 dec 06:00 CET
        The result was Successful.

          It failed when XO asked the VM with OpaqueRef:f3db3478-5acb-3723-5d15-652879bcf956 to do a Async.VM.clean_shutdown. Because without tools, you cannot make a clean shutdown. I don't remember in which scenario you need that action during a backup, probably related to auto healthcheck.

            The last log is from the Debian VM only and with 1.0.0-proto-0.4.0 tools
            The one without tools was removed from the job

            Thanks for Your engagement, It's great with people that don't sleep ;o)

              I cannot tell which VM is OpaqueRef:f3db3478-5acb-3723-5d15-652879bcf956 but you can, try to see to which VM it refers 🙂

                I cannot tell which VM is OpaqueRef:f3db3478-5acb-3723-5d15-652879bcf956 but you can, try to see to which VM it refers 🙂

                It's the one without tools

                But in the third log I only ran the vm with tools and still got errors:
                "OpaqueRef:c5030229-917f-b22f-7be6-532cc4cccf5a" and "AssertionError"

                I got no clue

                I installed vm1 (the "unistalled" one), updated and installed the 1.0.0-proto-0.4.0 tools
                made a new simple backup job with normal snapshot and it ran successfully
                I added vm2 and the job ran successfully again.

                Changed the snapshot mode to offline
                SuccessfulI

                I added the same schedule as in the first job
                retention 7
                Number of daily backups kept "blank"
                Number of weekly backups kept 2
                Number of monthly backups kept 1
                Number of yearly backups kept 1
                And it failed.

                Changed Number of daily backups kept "blank" to 7
                And Viola Success.
                It must have been deleted by mistake.
                Seems like it doesn't like the Number of daily backups kept to be blank

                I will change this in the first job and hopefully this is solved.

                And it's not
                I changed Number of daily backups kept "blank" to 7
                Ran the job, Failure.
                Rebooted everything included the host
                Ran the job. Failure again.

                  I compared the 2 jobs to make sure they where exactly the same.
                  Ran the new job. Success.
                  Ran the old job. Failed.

                  Removed all data from Long-term retention of backups in the old job
                  Number of daily backups kept 7 to "blank"
                  Number of weekly backups kept 2 to "blank"
                  Number of monthly backups kept 1 to "blank"
                  Number of yearly backups kept 1 to "blank"

                  Ran the old job again. Success !

                  Put the data back to 7 2 1 1
                  Ran the old job. Failed.

                  Hmmm.. I think there must be an undocumented feature here 🙂
                  I will run the new job alongside the old job an hour apart to see what will happen.

                    I'm getting similar too, I get the "entries must be sorted in asc order 2025-01 2025-52" error (see below) hope that's helpful.

                    Based on the comment about removing the Long-term retention of backups data, I just removed the Number of weekly backups kept entry and re-ran, this allowed the backup to run. I kept my Number of daily backups kept limit which I haven't reached yet.

                      Thank you for reporting this fix, after I removed the Number of weekly backups kept entry my backups are working again. Last night all our backups failed with the entries must be sorted in asc order 2025-01 2025-52 error.

                        I have now, on the new year, added a new schedule to see if there will be any difference

                          @David Thanks, my backups suddenly fail since today, after removing all retention settings except “daily backup”, they work perfectly as last year.

                            VM_LACKS_FEATURE

                            This means there's no tools installed or working on that VM

                            The original job is still not running
                            I was thinking about this and came up with this cunning plan 🙂

                            1. Shut down the VM to see if there is still a problem with the tools
                            2. Run the original job manually

                            No. it did not work, still failing entries must be sorted in asc order 2025-01 2025-52

                            Maybe I'm wrong but I think we have a problem here. Could have something to do with the new year.

                              @ph7 This is being investigated by the XOA team. We will update this thread when more information is available.

                                @Danp Any news?
                                I have no delta-backups since new year and I don't know what will happen if I set retention "Backup retention" to 0.
                                I don't see any options to disable retention temporarily so I disabled daily backups. We have full monthly backups, but daily and weekly stopped working and it's disturbing.
                                We use open-source edition, no offence or pressure intended; just curious since maybe it's reasonable to delete all backups after next monthly full-backup is complete

                                  @al-indigo I believe that a fix should be out by EOM.

                                    @Danp Could you please tell what will happen if I set "0" in retention field and enable backups again? Will it erase all my delta-backups there?

                                      @al-indigo AFAIK, the backup retention settings from the schedule won't be affected by changing the LTR values to zeros.

                                          @al-indigo The fix is included in XOA 5.103.0, which was released last week.
