Thanks. Back in Business. I did that but unzipped the file first. That did not work. Dropping the xo-config in as the zip folder, worked as it should. Thanks again.

@olivierlambert That worked. I selected an offline snapshot, and the job was completed. Thanks again.

@olivierlambert yes, the reason was quite obvious. A solution is what I was looking for. I will definitely try it with offline snapshots. Appreciate the info.

@tony said in VM Backup failure:

What version XCP-ng are you running? Is there any removable device (usb/dvd) attached to the VM?

I am currently running version 8.1. Yes I had a USB in the machine. I removed it and I'm currently retrying the backup. I totally forgot I had put the usb in a few weeks back. How did you know it could be that?

The job completed after the USB was removed.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

@olivierlambert

I thought because the nvidia-smi command showed an error that it did not pass through correctly. I went into the Jellyfin app and set it to use Transcoding, and it worked. Now, the only problem is, for some reason, I can't get that particular VM to complete a remote Delta backup. I continue to get the error shown above. I've deleted the job and rebuilt it, but get the same error. Any ideas? I really need to back up this media server. Thanks again.

@olivierlambert

I was able to get things working. Even though it does not show in the GUI on XO, it works for transcoding. However, I cannot complete a backup of that particular VM with this error...

@Dean50 something strange is going on. I turned on transcoding in the Jellyfin console. It seems that the transcoding is working when it is switched on, but it is not providing audio. Regardless, it seems that XCP-ng is passing through the GPU as it is intended. Thanks for all your input. Greatly appreciate the support.

@Dean50

Yes....

@olivierlambert Something is still off. When I run the Nvidia-smi command, I get an unknown error after installing the NVIDIA Drivers.

@Dean50

You were correct. It had two items for the NVIDIA GPU to pass through. However, it still did not show after getting passed, assigned, and rebooted.

@olivierlambert Thanks again for your input. How do I go about the lspci in Dom0? I’m learning more, but I’m still a novice. lol

@scot1297tutaio

I installed the NVIDIA Drivers but still do not see the card as available in the VM under the GPU option. It still shows an unclickable NONE. This card may not work. It is a lower-end card I had lying around.

When I run the nvidia-smi command, I'm getting this...
