The server (Lenovo System x3650 M5) has started and all 4 VMs are started and functional

Windows 22h2 ova is exported fine. The import goes to the end only if:

• it is not set to EFI boot by default
• the type of Operating System is on Other and the version is Other/Unknown
• video is under 16Mb

Linux ova export is fine. The import goes to the end with the same missconfiguration.

After the settings are done everything works fine.

Hello,
I have windows 2008R2 with SQL 2008R2 and a database of 4.3Tb, I use CR successfully (for 2+ years now), I do the transfer on a LAN link in http mode.

For a transfer on a 1G LAN, you will have a transfer time of 60-72 hours. You must set in XCP-ng the time to kill the task for 72 hours minimum, in /etc/xapi.conf line 306 set: pending_task_timeout = 259200 # 3 days in seconds.

For a transfer on a 10Gb LAN you will have a transfer of 7-14 hours.
I don't use snapshot with memory but the recovery was ok, I had an event.

Can you put an extra message at the Full backup interval, which will display what step it is until the next Full backup.
For example, as in the photo below, the first is the current one and the second is the desired one.

original one

with the desired modification

Thank you

For me is ok with fixTasks branch

@fatek
AD has a maximum period of difference between Domain Controller's and as far as I know it is 24h.
If you don't do this, the oldest one will be out of sync and useless.

Update to 8.3 with boot CD, all is ok and backup is done with success.
Thank you

The problem is the same with all form of ISO SR: local, cifs (smb), nfs. On all I have *.img

I can confirm that the file *.iso importing is converted to *.img
Importing

File on share is

File on XOCE, commit 3baa37846e6dbe775a8891f51f7eaebbbb28bea6

To be a good alternative to XCP-NG Center you have to do at least what XCP-NG Center does.
E.g:

• I haven't found in XOCE, so far, how to rearrange the VHDs of a VM, the only method, which I found , is to reattach them in the order I want,
• To be able to snopshoot,
• To be able to import and export,
• To be able to migrate a VM, implicitly to be able to add another host on which to migrate the VM. This is good when the current host has a problem,
• To group VMs by hosts, sometimes it is more useful to see which VMs are affected if you restart a host, XOCE displays them all but you cannot group/subgroup them on hosts that they are running on,
• It can be restarted even if it is the only host, XOCE only wants it if the VMs are all turned off.

In essence, XCP-NG Center does almost everything XOCE does, but manually. Which is OK when you have a breakdown.

Don't get me wrong I use XOCE the most and I understand its importance but sometimes a XCP-NG Center is good to have, especially a local one on the host.

At a certain point, I don't know when because we are talking about a home lab here.
I could attach the USB HDD same as a virtual HDD and I could put exclusions on it

More detailed:
At the moment I have this:
A VM with TrueNAS that has:

• sda 100Gb, the operating system
• sdb 2Tb, the first hdd to use in TrueNAS
• sdc 2Tb USB, clone of sdb 2Tb made in TrueNAS

I want to backup the TrueNAS system, which means only sda
I excluded sdb via [NOBAK] [NOSNAP]
But I can no longer exclude sdc via [NOBAK] [NOSNAP]

Is there a possibility to implement the same options as for disks, for VUSB to?
I mean the option to use [NOBAK] [NOSNAP].
Before the update, I saw the USB-HDD as a normal disk that I could attach to VM and use the [NOBAK] option to excluded it from the backup.
I have XCP-ng 8.3 is installed on the server.

This is what I was thinking

• [NOSNAP] to be like SDA and disk 3
• [NOBAK] to be with SDA and disk 2
• In both cases disk 4 is excluded

From my point of view, it should be with "OR" and if the condition is fulfilled to execute.
E.g :

• if I have "[NOSNAP] 'VM name' " not to execute snapshoot
• if I have "[NOBAK] 'Vm name' " not to execute backup
• if I have "[NOSNAP] [NOBAK] 'Vm name' " not to execute snapshot and backup
  But if you make a backup, remove only what is with [NOBAK]

It's not really necessary.
As I said, I have 3 x DC and I restored them in the test lab and they were ok.
All three were backed up at the same time with a single normal backup task.
Below is the task I was talking about.

@fatek

I have something like this and I have no problems so far.
The only thing is to do them all on the same day.
I have a task that backs up all three VMs at once.
And the restoration is done the same way, all from the same day.

@AtaxyaNetwork
thank you

@olivierlambert
ok, thank you
