      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.

                  @ph7 said in Long-term retention of backups:

                  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.
