      Hello,
      I've been using Xen Orchestra to back up several virtuals in a test environment for several months now. The backups are stored on remote NFS storage on the Synology appliance (BTRFS volume). The backup is run once a day with this setup:

      So far there has been no problem, until tonight when backing up one of the virtuals this error occurred:

      Just wondering what it means specifically and what to watch out for. I ran the backup again this morning and it went through fine.

      Thanks for any suggestions, ideas and explanations.

        Usually this error is caused by the merge process still running in the background from a previous backup job.
