      Greetings, I need a solution for automatizing the process of creating weekly backups. At the moment it is done manually (The step process being Firefox, Xenorkestra, select VN, export, select compression ration, select folder and create backup). The folder that is used is always the same and I have to repeat this process for every VM.

      This is quite problematic since I can't assign another backup for more than two VM at once. Aside from this problem it is necessary to password protect the newly created backup file and store it on a separate storage manually for each newly created backup. Is it possible to write a Jobs for all of these operations altogether (Create backup, assign password, send it to storage)?

        But… why not using Smart Backup? https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backups.html#smart-backup

        Just create a backup job on a VM tag, then no need to modify the job everytime.

          Hi,

          I don't understand your problem at all. Why not creating a a real backup with Xen Orchestra?

            Sorry for the confusion I automatically wrote Xenorkestra instead of Xen Orchestra (same program just different language). Yes i do use Xen Orchestra but the problem is that I have to repeat the process of making backups 20 times every day for each VM (Select the VM, create the backup, set a password and send it on its merry way to a storage). I ask again is it possible to streamline or make the process of automatic via Jobs (the program automatically selected VM to export and backup, set given password to them and sends them to a storage automatically)?
