      I have a long backup task (initial replica) where a VM has 10 2TB disks attached to it. The initial backup takes around 4 days. After a day or so, the task goes away in the task list. The backup continues. I am not sure it will complete (I am 1.5 days in). Is there some filter that is removing long tasks from the list?

        You can check task list on XCP-NG host with command
        xe task-list status=pending

          I found out you can extend the timeout using this method by logging into each xcp-ng node:

          Create a special file:

          nano /etc/xapi.conf.d/increase-task-timeout.conf
          

          Paste this in here: (example for 10 days)

          # set XAPI task timeout to 10d
          pending_task_timeout = 864000
          

          Then, restart the stack:

          xe-toolstack-restart

            This is documented in our official doc IIRC 🙂
