Start backup for one single vm
-
Hi All,
When a backup job is failed u can restart the backup for one specific vm in that job, currently this button is missing in a job that went succesfully, in some cases it could be very usefull if u can rerun the backup only for that specific vm and not for the whole job. in case u need an extra backup for the vm or in my case when the cbt of that vm is corrupted and needs to rerun to get it fixed. Is there any way to force run the backup for the one vm instead of the whole job? maybe an api call?
Cheers Robin

Hmm good question. I don't think it's possible but worth discussing it internally. Adding @pdonias or @MathieuRA in the loop.

@olivierlambert in a failed job the button is allready there so i shouldn't be that difficult to show it somewhere else or on a finished job. That last one is not so difficult i guess and is fine for me.

Hi @rtjdamen
This should be doable usingxo-cli.
xo-cli backupNg.runJob id=<your-job-id> schedule=<your-schedule-id> vm=<your-vm-id> -
@MathieuRA thx, i will test this, would it be doable to create a button on the backup tab of a vm in xoa to initiate the backup for that specific vm? Couldn’t be that difficult

I will create a card for this feature request to discuss with the whole XO team. I will keep you updated here

@rtjdamen
I was in the same situation
I made a new schedule, BCK-Man with atagBCK-Man.
When I needed a manual backup, I added thetagto that VM
