[NOSNAP] [NOBAK] but disk is still backed up

[cgasser]

Hi,

I have a VM with 2 disks. I do not want the second disk to be included in the backup. I have added [NOSNAP] [NOBAK] as prefix to the second disk's name.

Nevertheless, when doing a full backup, the data of this disk is tranfered as well:

I read some posts in this forum about that but it is still not clear to me.

• Is the data of the disk transfered, but then deleted from the backup?
• Did I do anything wrong?
• Shouldn't it be transfered in the first place?

Hi,

• Which XCP-ng version are you using?
• What kind of backup are you doing?

@olivierlambert Sorry. 8.3. Delta Backup.

So that should work. Can you try just with [NOBAK] first?

Can confirm [NOSNAP] [NOBAK] works with xen 8.2, xo 3a212.
Well NOSNAP can't technicaly work, but it don't break anything.
