      I am trying to backup one VM from my XCP-NG to an external 8tb HD. I am seeing the below error with my VM backup.

End: Apr 20, 2022, 04:03:56 PM
Duration: a few seconds
Error: ENOSPC: no space left on device, write

      The VM is about 8gb in size, and I have only 1.1tb in use out of 3.6tb on my SR. I can successfully snapshot the VM, but the backup fails.

      Anyone have any ideas on this?

        @Bane Hi Bane.

        Could you display the result of a df -h from your dom 0 please?

          This is a different error from your initial post on Discord. You had SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_44(, There is insufficient space, ) and now it's ENOSPC: no space left on device.

          So this time, it's an issue on backup storage.

              And what about the "remote" configuration in XO? Do you know that backup storage are mounted in XO and not XCP-ng, right?

                @olivierlambert I don't see the drive I'm backing up to when I run mount -l, I do see it under remotes in settings.

                  You can spot it here, it's very obvious.

                  Can you see the amount of Total disk available? The path you entered is used inside Xen Orchestra virtual Appliance, not from the host/XCP-ng perspective.

                  There's no such device as /dev/sdf/backup in your XOA.

                  You need to mount it INSIDE your XO VM, then to create a mount point, and finally point to this mountpoint.

                  This is a kind of advanced scenario, ideally, you should rely on a NFS share (the easiest thing).

                    Ok, that makes sense.

                    Thanks

                        I have the backup setup now for my NFS share. The NFS remote tests fine and the backup job has some success. I am getting the below failures though on 5 VM's. I am posting one example, let me know if I should post the entire log.

                            I applied the fix mentioned in that thread, and now I have more VM's that succeed. However I still have a few that fail with the same HTTP timeout. Is there anything else I should look at?

                              Maybe the huge number of DNS requests could also cause issues. What about testing it? (it's merged on master since recently, be sure to be on the latest commit!)

                                @olivierlambert Can you point me to instructions for that?

                                  If you installed XO from our doc, then it's trivial: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/installation.html#updating

                                    @olivierlambert I updated to the master as you mentioned and I still get the http timeout error on 4 of my VM's.

                                        I'm using the trial with pro support included right now. So, I don't see the commit string in my about section. Is there another way to verify the commit string?

                                            When I run the below, I get destination 'xen-orchestra' already exisits.

                                            git clone -b latest https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra

                                            I'm not an expert so forgive me if this seems like a basic question.
