Our future backup code: test it!

[Andrew]

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

[Andrew]

@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?

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.

[florent]

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.

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:

[manilx]

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

Guess I'm reverting back.

Did the mirror work after revert ?

[manilx]

@florent Yes, just fine.

@florent Yes, just fine.

ok, so that's an issue with the mirror. I reproduced this night on my lab
I am working on a fix

[manilx]

@florent Pls advise here when it's fixed, so that I can retry. I will hold back until then.
Backups are essential.

[florent]

@manilx the PR is in review, it should be merged in a few hours

thank you for helping us improve the quality

[manilx]

@florent Will update and try at the end of today then (GMT)
