      @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?

          @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 ?

                    @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 ?

                          @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.

                              Did the mirror work after revert ?

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

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