@florent I just looked at the new documentation, and it's much better as far as details go.

For example, I don't recall seeing the requirement that the snapshots on the ESXi side had to have specific names.

I'll give it a try with these new docs.

Thanks.

Hi still looking for info on this.

I deleted the snapshots that had been there, and new ones have been created.

@florent I only have 2 jobs. One called VM Backup (yeah, I know very imaginative) which backs up 2 VMs and one call XO backup which backs up the pool metadata and XO config.

The one called VM Backup is a Delta Backup, running daily at 8pm, with a full backup every 7 days.

The snapshots have the name of the backup job (for example: [XO Backup VM Backup] Windows10)

@Pilow Double checked. There's no filter in place and no new VM.

@olivierlambert Ah, OK. Looked there, everything appears to be OK.

@Danp Nothing there. The most recent entry was from yesterday (24-Sep) at 00:23 about invalid credentials. Would the cli show anything further?

Thanks.

@olivierlambert Do you mean the Health view under the Backups? That doesn't show any issues.

@Danp I didn't do anything but the restore, so it's not clear what happened and I'm looking for guidance on how to best proceed.

I have a backup jobs that runs every night. It's an incremental with a full every 7 days.

I was checking the storage today and I see that there are two snapshots from last night's backup that are still there.

Looking at the logs, last nights backup was an incremental.

How do I determine why the snapshots weren't removed, and can I safely remove them now?

Thanks.

I've been looking around, and I can't find any docs about actually restoring from a backup.

When I attempted a restore, it said it completed, but I have no idea what was actually done.

When I look at the backup screen in XO, under the logs, it shows a single item, but under the VM column, it states "VM not found!".

When I look at the local storage, and list the disks, I see a number of disks, but I'm not sure which one is the one I just restored.

Is there any documentation on restoring? I looked at https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/ but the only thing there concerns backups.

Thanks.
