Great (or maybe not) news.. At least on my system this is very easy to replicate.. On a tiny test machine that only have had a normal backup before, first time doing replication copy (to H2 SSD) it sends it as full as expected. Just did some simple operations on the machine (like apt update, no upgrade), then retried:

Too bad it becomes that unexplainable slow when it has to fall back to a full backup:

@olivierlambert This happens to me too with a459015ca91c159123bb682f16237b4371a312a6.

I did open an issue https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/8969

open a459015 causes delta replication to always be full #8969

@Andrew And it doesn't with the commit just before?

Andrew

@olivierlambert Correct. Running commit 4944ea902ff19f172b1b86ec96ad989e322bec2c works.

@florent so it's like https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/commit/a459015ca91c159123bb682f16237b4371a312a6 might introduced a regression?

@Andrew then again, with such a precise report, the fix is easier

the fix should join master soon
