Hi Oliver,
thanks to your suggestion I solved the problem.

Thanks again.

olivierlambert wow, thanks for this trick.
I'll try it and let you know the result

olivierlambert No. The backup takes more than 24 hours.

Good morning,
I have a problem with the backup of a really large vm.
The vm has 4 disks with the following sizes:

• 200GB
• 2TB
• 1.5TB
• 1TB

The VM runs on an XCP-NG 8.2.1 with ext storage.
I am using a Xen Orchestra Community (Xen Orchestra, commit f8303, Master, commit ad8f8)
The configured backup is of type Delta to a nas as a destination.

After many hours of execution, the backup fails both using nfs and smb.

At a certain point I notice that the export/inport tasks disappear but apparently it seems that the backup continues: the space occupied on the destination continues to grow and the job status remains in running.

After a few more hours the job fails.

The backup logs are as follows.
