Hi there. Prepare for my posts

little off-top, any one know how to prevent status screen from going blank? I would like to see those information all the time

@xisco is this XCP thing? or citrix?

about pausing VM - this is default behavior in Hyper-V server and is work flawless - restarting server prior to some MS patching - all vm are going nicely to sleep and after boot resumes accordingly.

@MD389 in below config it does not create the iso smb share on selected server

New --> Storage --> Then select SMB from the "Select storage type" dropdown list.

Did the trick. Thank's for solution

@schmalztech it will not be working correctly yer for very long time i was trying to setup backups on backblaze in past year, didnt worked, I think s3 backup function is not production ready - but despite of this it was putted on xoa like it would be functioning correctly...

@olivierlambert said in Can Network be selected for Backups?:

It's simple, you can't for now. It's the management network only.

What you can do, is to add a network to XO that will be inside the network you want, so at least the link between XO and the storage/backup will be the one you want.

any update on this feature?

Hi

have anyone done proper configuration of s3 backup and can confirm that it works correctly? I'm trying to config remote for backblaze b2 but all I get is an error

hi

the backup proces is pretty traightforward, but how about restore from s3? how does it look when I want restore a vm from backup?

what the practical difference between cr and delta backup? can I store delta backup on xcp' local storage?

Becouse xoa backup is painfully slow... it's good for CR but for full vm backup, let's say it's unsuitable... on my 1Gb lan, full vm backup (DR or Copy) from xcp1 to xcp2 I have about 10-15Mb/s. This is the topic I've asked many times on this forum. And guys from vProtect brag that the speed im much better on their soft due to CBT not vhd delta - which I'll check in a while.

@olivierlambert no - vprotect would be located on the same network (or separate dedicated network) on which xcp-ng is. "External" in this case is another phisycal location. But that's not the problem. The problem and concerns are about consistency of vm when another soft will "glue" to the vm and create another snapshot on the machine. Another soft that use complete different mechanism that xo/a for backup.

"extenal" backup of all vms to vProtect's local storage

OK.

Another question about using vProtect alongside with XO - which already covers the rolling snaps and CR's - is it safe - from your perspective - to use vProtect alongside with XO in regards of BCP ? Do You see any contraindications to use vProtect on xcp/xo site?

Hi

Question about backup - recently I've found soft from my Polish firends that creaded vProtect - their soft uses CBT for backup. Any plans to use this feature in xoa ?
