      @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 Yes it was, last time I used it. On Linux this VM works fine

                      @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.
