      @Pilow You can watch it via the cli using Journal using this command. Not as nice as having it in the UI but useful if you are waiting for a merge for finish before running maintenance on your remotes.

      sudo journalctl -u xo-server -f -n 50

              I decided to go all in and do 5 at once... 4 vms at once.

              3 linux and 2 windows 11 vms.

                  You can check the toggle "merge sychronously" in the advanced block of the backup job, to at least know when the merge is done

                  (we intend to make this the default choice in the near future)

                    @florent i always check it, to avoid a merging process to be disrupted by another job.

                    so when the backup tranfer is done (we have a progress bar), the job just sits there.. .merging in background, without progress bar or percentage.
                    5 minutes later, the backup job finishes.

                    so your stats are flawed (used data over time) if time of merging is taken in account

                    see what I mean ?

                      Merging is another process than transfer. Transfer is between XCP-ng to XO (then to BR), while merging is only between XO and BR. The impact is very different (eg on the XCP-ng side, nothing happening during the merge)

                        @olivierlambert I get you.

                        Same in veeam and synthetic fulls, it's only between the server/proxy and the repository.
                        but we get a progressing percentage while the job sits while doing the synthetic full.

                        would be cool to "see" the progress of merging.
                        why ? bad habits from previous technologies used I guess.

                          Giving better observability is something we are working actively on , this is tightly coupled with being able to stop a task, and I hope we will be able to show the progress soon
