Load balance plugin interrupting scheduled backups

[anik]

Hi,

i have had this thing happen a few times now, where during scheduled backups, a VM starts migrating due to load balancing during a scheduled backup and then the backup job for that specific VM fails.

Error: cannot backup a VM currently being migrated

Is there a way to prevent this from happening, or at the very least have the backup job finish automatically after migration has finished?

Thanks

Hi!

Have you setup a backup retry number for this job?

[anik]

hmm... i do not see such option. I forgot to mention that this is a delta backup job, if that matters.

OK, found the git where it was added 2 months ago (https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/7308), and i haven't updated in 3 months, time to update XO

Yes, you should stay updated often
