Danp There were no entries regarding backup listed by the journalctl command for the target backup time.

I've updated my XO to commit 16498, and restarted the XO VM. The backup ran ok Today.

Thank you DustinB and Danp for responding to my post!

Danp The log is empty -- no messages. I've changed the schedule to run at a different time -- waiting to hit that time...

DustinB Not every minute, but only at 1:00AM of every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

And no, the job is not running.

Also, I have the same schedule for my Pool Metadata and XO Config backups, which are get started and run successfully.

Hello,

I've setup and scheduled full VMs, XO config, and pool metadata backups.

Pool metadata and XO config backups were started automatically and run successfully.

VMs backup does not start automatically. When started manually, the VMs backup runs successfully.
The screenshot is uploaded in my next post.

Why the backups are not being started?
How to diagnose the failure of XO to start the backup automatically?

Thank you,
Alex.

julien-f Any plan to introduce an ability to schedule monthly backups on a specific day of the week?

DustinB Can we have something like this, for instance:
Run monthly backup on 1st Sunday of each month at 5:00AM

0 5 * * 7 [ $(date +\%d) -le 07 ]

aqua-calc The problem is fixed. The XO server was missing NFS utils:

sudo apt install nfs-common

Thank you everyone for responding!

gskger I've tried both -- the same result:

gskger Yes, we did. As a matter of fact,the same NFS is mounted as "NFS virtual disk storage" via XCP-NG control center, with no problems.

We're trying to move away from our own backup script to use XO scheduled backups.

Hello,

I'm having a problem configuring NFS and SMB since I've moved my NAS from ReadyNAS to Synology.

Did anyone succeed to configure a "New file system remote" as NFS or SMB on a Synology NAS?

Thank you.

jmrapin Thank you!

julien-f I did fresh install, with config exported from the original xenorchestra server and then imported into the new server

DeOccultist said in SyntaxError: Named export 'format' not found. The requested module 'json-rpc-peer' is a CommonJS module:

FYI: I've tried the updater too and getting the same failure

olivierlambert Still getting the same error:
