Is there a way to schedule an XVA export?
-
Hi, I'm thinking the easiest way to backup and recover our XO installation is to just export the entire VM regularly, and in the event of a disaster import the XVA with XCP-NG Centre.
Is there some way of scheduling a regular XVA export of a VM? I couldn't find any information in the documentation on what file format a "Full Backup" uses.
If not via XO GUI, can it be done via script or something? It would need to be an export of a running VM, though, which I think is an XO-specific feature?

Full backup is using XVA, so it's covering your need
In other word, use XO -
@olivierlambert Thanks for the reply. I just gave it a try, and it's very hard to find where the backup XVA actually ends up. It's mixed up with all the other backups, each in a folder named with ID codes that don't seem to correspond with anything visible in the XO interface.
Apart from creating a seperate target remote exclusively for this backup, is there a way of finding out (or specifying) which folder the XVA backup will go to?
-
@zevgeny You can specify the folder path when you create a new remote, you can use the same NFS mount point with different path.

@tony I guess that's not too hard. I created another remote just for this backup, seems to be working fine, thanks.

It's not that complicated: it's in a folder with the UUID of the backup job, then the VM is within it's UUID folder. That's it.
