Restore fails with import_error
-
We are doing full backups with XOA to a SMB storage. When we try to restore we get this error:
{"code":"IMPORT_ERROR","params":["INTERNAL_ERROR: [ Stream_vdi.Failure(\"Expected to find an inline checksum, found file called: Ref:16807/00000000.xxhash\")We have tried to import the XVA file in XCP-ng Center and get a import error there as well. This is for all the backups but one that has been skipping since januar due to a vdi-chain error. Backup is nice, but restore is better. How can fix this?
-
@Hans Are you running XOA (the prebuilt appliance) or XO VM built from sources? What version / commit is your installation?
-
@Danp I think it is the prebuilt as it is Debian 10.
I just updated XOA to version 5.73.1 and I think it was version 5.3.3 before.
-
You are trying to restore an XVA generated by a more recent version of Citrix Hypervisor/XCP-ng to an older XCP-ng/Citrix Hypervisor.
XAPI is providing forward compatibility, not backward. Please upgrade your probably old XCP-ng/XenServer host to be able to restore this XVA.
-
@olivierlambert The backup is only 3 days old, and nothing has changed. The host XCP version is 8.2. We updated XCP in march and I have some old backups from before the update that work, so it could be something with the new version.
-
No, the problem is on the destination (where you import) NOT the source.
The source (where the XVA is generated) is using a new "format" that's not compatible with older XenServer.
What's the version of your destination host? (where you are trying to import the XVA)
-
@olivierlambert Of course you are correct, we have not updated the DR site yet, where I did the restore. The version on the DR site is 8.0.0.
Thank you for the fast answer and solution!
-
You are welcome. As an XOA user (Starter, right?) you could have also create a support ticket, with a guarantee regarding the response time (which is not the case here). Feel free to create tickets in the future

@olivierlambert Thank you Olivier, posting it here can maybe help somebody else who does the same mistake
