Backup fails with "VM_HAS_VUSBS" error
-
Hi!
IIRC, you can't directly backup a running VM while an USB device is attached. The workaround is to detach the device, backup then re-attach. I vaguely remember a discussion around this few years ago, but I don't get all the details.

Ideally, we should probably detect this error message, unplug, backup and re-plug automagically. However, I'm afraid this could trigger a surprise if you are doing a backup while actively using the USB device
-
@olivierlambert Could this be added as an option under the backup's Advanced settings area?

In the real world, FWIW department, the usb is a software protection device that works with some architectural software we use.BTW...based on your icon for your name...WDE!!!

@archw Years ago we used a device to convert a serial port into an IP connection. I wonder if you could do something similar where the actual USB dongle wasn't even attached to your XCP-ng host.
WDE!!

Not a bad idea!(I was Junior when Bo Jackson got there:) )

@archw I was there from 83 - 85. I can recall standing in line behind Bo to sign up for classes.

80 to 84! Building science...never saw Bo but Lionel "Little Train" James was in the class I went to (he was leaving as I was walking in...nice dude!!!). -
@archw I do not envy you for being stuck on using USB serial keys.... ugh...
That has to be some OLD software

Probably, just taking care of telling people it will unplug the device for few seconds.
