      Hi there,

      First time poster, long time reader. I recently came across an odd problem with my Delta Backup Jobs. I have a a couple of delta backup jobs running daily backups of VMs. I have noticed that 2 of the VMs in the backup job fail to delete the old delta backup snapshot after a new one has been created. The backup job still succeeds and the next backup job runs without error but it creates a long snapshot chain that has to be manually cleaned up. I have noticed that it only seems to only effect Ubuntu 20.04 VMs if that has anything to do with it (there are two ubuntu 18 vms part of this job that seem to be deleting old delta snapshots).

        @Pa3docypris the other snapshots are correctly deleted ?
        are these VM on a specific storage ?

        Do you have anythin in the xo-server logs ( like in journalctl ) VDI_IN_USE ?

        can you post the full job JSON ( on the top of the backup log there is a download button ) ? eventually by direct chat to me if you prefer to keep it private

          @florent PM sent with backup job log. Nothing is showing up for VDI_IN_USE in the xo-server logs. One thing I just noticed is that past two jobs have both been full backups when one should have been a full and then a delta.
