On tomorrow 's release we will:

• reduce the polling for the patches list
• add more debug to know exactly what request go through the xo6 api (rest api)

following this we will add core xo metrics to the openmetrics ( prometheus) export to allow users and support to dig through real world data when needed

@Forza

Cancelling a backup run is also on our roadmap ,as soon as we have done reworking the tasks to use xo-task on the full chain, and not an hybrid of various iteration of the tasks objects

better tracking of the backup run is also on our roadmap , this is also linked to the task changes plus are some issues with the size on the remote before being able to do this

In any case, both are on our backlog

@Pilow said in Veeam backup with XCP NG:

@olivierlambert I get you.

Same in veeam and synthetic fulls, it's only between the server/proxy and the repository.
but we get a progressing percentage while the job sits while doing the synthetic full.

would be cool to "see" the progress of merging.
why ? bad habits from previous technologies used I guess.

Giving better observability is something we are working actively on , this is tightly coupled with being able to stop a task, and I hope we will be able to show the progress soon

@manilx yes, that's it

we should change the "full backup interval" to "base/complete backup interval", to clarify what is a full . And we will do it.

we are reworking the import code , along the new backup code ( https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10664/our-future-backup-code-test-it ) to unify the differetn disk transformation path

For now:

• V2V handles flat, cowd, sesparse, stream optimized vmdk in the format "metadata.vmdk and a data file ) and ova ( for VSAN)
• disk import support monolithic vmdk ( cowd, sesparse, streamoptimized )
• ova improt support only stream ova with streamoptimzed vmdk inside

@andrewreid Yes, I can't wait to share it with everybody.

@AlexD2006 thanks for signaling this, we just merged a fix, that fix it on our labs
can you test it on your side ?
https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/9202

fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

closed fix(backups): getOldEntries must accept entries without id or timestamp #9202

@AlexD2006 this looks like the right issue, we will look into it immediately ( yesterday was a public holiday in France)

@Andrew then again, with such a precise report, the fix is easier

the fix should join master soon

found it , there was not one, but 2 bugs
albeit small they were putting the xo backup in a incorrect state
the fix is here, and will be merged as soon as possible and then released as a patch for xoa users
https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/8780

really thank you everyone for the information

fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

closed fix(xapi): respect the config file setting for preferNbd #8780

@wralb it is in master, we are preparing a patch release for XOA on monday morning with this fix

@wralb this will impact each merges with different sizes, so if you revert to master you may still have the issue

this commit will probably be in master by monday

@simonp can you check if it's related to the xo5/xo6 proxying ?

ping @bastien-nollet

did you resize the VM disks in the near past ?

I insist on the fact that this will only have impact on the FULL backups jobs , and not on the incremental ones

@olivierlambert I am summoning @simonp that worked on the merge last month ( in fact he is already working on it)

@deligatedgeek would it be ok to do a quick iteration where you need to use the command line to add some magics to your backup repository settings ?

first you will need to change your branch to feat_s3_part_settings ( if you are using xo from source)
Then use xo-cli to update the settings of your remote :

xo-cli remote.getAll

find the right one, then xo-cli remote.set id=<the uuid you get at the previous step> url='<the previous url >&maxPartNumber=1000

you can also add maxPartSize and minPartSize if needed

@flakpyro said:

Here is the latest after installing 6.2.1 on Friday.

for whose who have a big memory usage , Is a call to xo-cli xo.clean reduce the memory consumption ?

@ItzJay in your journalctl -i xo-server log you should have something like nbdkit logs of ${diskPath} are in ${tmpDir} where tmpDir is something like /tmp/xo-serverXXXX/stderr

can you post the file ?

alternatively, you can open a support ticket
