XO Backup [NOBAK] for full backups
-
@julien-f Excellent, thank you!
-
Has this been implemented yet?
I've tried the [NOBAK] method, and the disk still gets cycled into the weekly VM backup. -
Running the latest xen orchestra. Just finished our latest weekly backup. It still backed up the 1TB disk I had labeled as [NOBAK].
-
@mrbaz I don't think its been implemented yet. Its coming from what I've read though.
-
It should be for this release, this time
@julien-f is working on it! -
@olivierlambert Has there been any progress on the VDI.snapshot? Read somewhere that there could be another branch for testing, but I did not find any.
-
@johnarvid ah yes let me ping @julien-f about this, I don't remember exactly where are we on the VDI.snapshot front
-
@olivierlambert Is there an Update to this? We would also like to use the [NOBAK] with the Full Backup feature of XO.
-
Ping @julien-f

Hey everyone,
[NOBAK]should work for all types of backup: Rolling Snaphost, Disaster Recovery, Continuous Replication, Full Backup and Delta Backup.Unfortunately, due to the way the snapshot process is implemented in XCP-ng, ignored VDIs will still be snapshotted before being deleted, which takes time and space unnecessarily, but we have discussed with the XCP-ng team and they are working on improving this
In the meantime, XO tries to work around this by temporary detaching these VDIs from the VM during the snapshot, but this only work when the VM is halted (see offline backup in the advanced settings of a backup job).
-
Hi does the Backup job still create the Snapshot (and therefore required time and space) when not doing an offline backup or has this been improved by now ?
