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.
