Backup timeout?
-
Is there a maximum run time for a backup before it will timeout?
I have a backup of a large VM to the cloud that takes longer than 24 hours to complete. After 24 hours the backup Export task disappears form the task list however the backup appears to continue running.
Should I simply wait longer or has this backup reached a timeout limit?
Is there a better way to complete backups that will take a long time?

Yes, the default timeout for XAPI tasks is 24 hours. This can be modified as explained in the documentation -- https://docs.xcp-ng.org/management/manage-locally/api/#24h-task-timeout
