Rolled back and will stay there until this is fixed. Gave me heart attack....

@florent On a quick CR test, fix_nbd_progress works correctly for me.

@florent I have the current master (9a833) running now and it's working so far. No change in speed at this time (just testing CR delta).

I did notice that the active tasks show only one Export/NBD but I have 4 configured. I don't know if this is a task view issue (I guess I only need to see one) or a true 1x NBD export.

@florent Installed in the same test environment as last week, this time the backup ran successfully and the tasks cleared as usual. I will keep running this build over the next week but so far so good! I should note i am only running Delta backups at home. We use Delta + CR jobs in production at work but that is running full blown XOA. Is the plan to push this to XOA in the next monthly release?

[Tristis Oris]

Need to restart toolstack on each host after fix. Now all jobs dissapeared.

@florent Just updated XO and it ran my nightly backup without issues clearing tasks.
Nicely done.

I am happy to hear this . I am working on this code almost full time since december

Did you try a restore / file restore to ensure the backups are exactly as intended ?

[Tristis Oris]

still not fixed.

[manilx]

@florent actually I didn't. Will try and report.

still not fixed.

Yes I am working on it ( but still no luck for now)

@florent Full VM restore went fine an VM booted.

File restore of a Windows VM does not work. Cannot select any files:

file level restore can be quite brittle , was it working on this VM with the previous code ?

[manilx]

@florent Yes it was, last time I used it. On Linux this VM works fine

[manilx]

@florent Where I do have an issue now is with Mirror incremental backup

All VM's have this issue and fail mirror.

Worked fine before the XO update yesterday:

@florent Here is the log of the latest mirror job. All VM's are failing.

Guess I'm reverting back.
