    • RE: Question on Mirror backups

      @manilx yes, that's it

      we should change the "full backup interval" to "base/complete backup interval", to clarify what is a full . And we will do it.

    • RE: Cannot Import VMDK Through Import > Disk (migrating from ESXi, all methods not working)

      we are reworking the import code , along the new backup code ( https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10664/our-future-backup-code-test-it ) to unify the differetn disk transformation path

      For now:

      • V2V handles flat, cowd, sesparse, stream optimized vmdk in the format "metadata.vmdk and a data file ) and ova ( for VSAN)
      • disk import support monolithic vmdk ( cowd, sesparse, streamoptimized )
      • ova improt support only stream ova with streamoptimzed vmdk inside

      @florent Yes, just fine.

      ok, so that's an issue with the mirror. I reproduced this night on my lab
      I am working on a fix

    • RE: Our future backup code: test it!

      @flakpyro today the backup code use binary stream in a the vhd format. This format is limited, by design , to 2TB disks
      xcp-ng team introduce the qcow2 format to handle bigger disk
      By using a independant format, we'll be able to handle both vhd and qcow2 on the backup side without multiplying complexity. We'll also be able to build the adapter to handle the various vmdk sub format (rax, cowd, sesparse and stream optimized) used by v2v and import bigger disks directly

    • RE: Externalised backup LTO

      @b-dietrich said in Externalised backup LTO:

      Hi everyone,

      I would like to know if it's possible to externalised backup on library tape with XOA ?

      Is it in the roadmap for 2024 ?

      I will let @olivierlambert on the backlog point. It is still planned, but there is a lot of ground work before :

      • since tape can't be easily seek , so you'll have to write the backup at once no turning back to update a previously written block/metadata
      • you'll have to build a catalog of tape<->backup to know which tape you'll have to use to restore, or rewrite. This is a huge change since XO don't use any database , the backup repositories are self contained : you can mount a backup repository to a new XO, and the backup will be listed . With tapes, you'll have to keep (and backup) the backup catalog. Yep , we'll need to backup the backups and ensure it's recoverable

      That being said, the mirror backup feature as been built to pave the way to tape backup

      For now the easiest way to do tape backup is to use full backup to a backup repository only used for this, and to mirror it to tapes. At our scale, priorities can also change if there is a big enough sponsor, that is ready to take a part of the financial load of this feature and gives us access to real world hardware and processes.

    • RE: VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!

      @ismo-conguairta said in VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!:

      I have two different behaviour on two different XO instances. Each XO instance refers to a different pool (different hosts, same xcp-ng version). In both the instances I try to connect to the same Private Virtual Datacenter based on VMware/vSphere at OVH.

      In the first one I get the following error message by using the web UI: "invalid parameters" (take a look at this logfile 2023-02-28T19_25_21.933Z - XO.txt )

      In the second one, I get the following error message by using the web UI "404 Not Found https://<vsphere-ip>/folder/<vm-name>/<vm-name>.vmx?dsName=<datastore-name>"

      By using the xo-cli I get the "404 Not Found" on both the instances.

      Regarding the "404 Not Found", I want to point out that at OVH I have a VMware datacenter (with 2 hosts) and in order to access to the storage I need to specify the parameter dcPath=<datacenter-name>

      So the right URL should be https://<vsphere-ip>/folder/<vm-name>/<vm-name>.vmx?dcPath=<datacenter-name>&dsName=<datastore-name>

      Simply adding (in a static way) the dcPath specification on line :54 of esxi.mjs file makes it work.

      I thought it was constant. I will look into the api to get it, and if not possible expose it in the UI

      @Seclusion : noted I will look into theis error message, this one is a first for me

      @florent Here is the log of the latest mirror job. All VM's are failing.
      https://paste.vates.tech/?8b00e8353e4139af#4zVKzqXNcpxA7d9PNehV8w4Xjo45UBj9L1RRa3cgGekC

      Guess I'm reverting back.

      Did the mirror work after revert ?

      @florent Full VM restore went fine an VM booted.

      File restore of a Windows VM does not work. Cannot select any files:

      ScreenShot 2025-05-20 at 08.30.41.png

      file level restore can be quite brittle , was it working on this VM with the previous code ?

      I am happy to hear this . I am working on this code almost full time since december

      Did you try a restore / file restore to ensure the backups are exactly as intended ?
