    • RE: Long backup times via NFS to Data Domain from Xen Orchestra

      @MajorP93 this settings exists (not in the ui )

      you can create a configuration file named /etc/xo-server/config.diskConcurrency.toml if you use a xoa

      containing

      [backups]
      diskPerVmConcurrency = 2

      @MajorP93
      interesting, Note that this is orthogonal to NBD.
      I note that there is probably more work to do to improve the performance and will retest VM with a lot of disk
      Performance is really depending on the underlying storage.
      compression and encryption can't be done in "legacy mode" , since we won't be able to merge block in place in this case.

    • RE: VMware vm migration with XOA and XOProxy

      @acebmxer is 10.120.20.119 your xo- proxy ?

      I misread your question, you want to exclude the xoa from the process, not the proxy. Today the disk conversion can only be done directly by the xoa.
      The data flow is always {vpshere/esxi} => xoa => xcp-ng , with a proxy that can be between xoa and xcp-ng

      The only way to handle this without goiing through delilah would be to deploy a second xoa/xoce directly in tilton pool . You can have multiple xoa connected to the same pool.

    • RE: Long backup times via NFS to Data Domain from Xen Orchestra

      interesting

      can you try to do a perfomance test while using block storage ?
      81709355-5c09-4581-a424-9245a367bbdb-image.png

      This will store backup are multiple small ( typically 1MB ) files , that are easy to deduplicated, and the merge process will be moving / deleting files instead of modifying one big monolithic file per disk. It could sidestep the hydratation process.
      This is the mode by default on S3 / azure, and will probably be the mode by default everywhere in the future, given its advantages

      (Note for later : don't use XO encryption at rest if you need dedup, since even the same block encrypted twice will give different results)

      @olivierlambert the tar stream is passed as is
      is there any warning in the relevant backup job log ?

      @acebmxer is the proxy used as a http proxy forone of the involved pool ?
      can you show a screenshot of your "server" screen ?

    • RE: Backups routinely get stuck on the health check

      @Austin.Payne a health check will download the full backup from your remote to the storage repository
      what is the size of the VM ?

    • RE: Adding Encryption To A Remote After The Fact

      @planedrop you can't change the remote encryption if the remote is not empty

      in the future we intend to be able to use rolling encryption ( that is encrypting the new block/file with the new key ) to permit an easier upgrade and key rotation

    • RE: [VDDK V2V] Migration of VM that had more than 1 snapshot creates multiple VHDs

      @MajorP93 the size are different between the disks, did you modify it since the snapshots ?

      would it be possible to take one new snapshot with the same disk structure ?

    • RE: Veeam backup with XCP NG

      @Pilow said in Veeam backup with XCP NG:

      @olivierlambert I get you.

      Same in veeam and synthetic fulls, it's only between the server/proxy and the repository.
      but we get a progressing percentage while the job sits while doing the synthetic full.

      would be cool to "see" the progress of merging.
      why ? bad habits from previous technologies used I guess.

      Giving better observability is something we are working actively on , this is tightly coupled with being able to stop a task, and I hope we will be able to show the progress soon

    • RE: Veeam backup with XCP NG

      @Pilow said in Veeam backup with XCP NG:

      @flakpyro thank you 😃

      @florent , would be nice to add this to XCP backup ? merge progress

      You can check the toggle "merge sychronously" in the advanced block of the backup job, to at least know when the merge is done

      (we intend to make this the default choice in the near future)

    • RE: Veeam backup with XCP NG

      nice
      I think they compute speed as "disk size / time" , whereas we compute it as " used data / time"

      That's great to have more choice on this space

    • RE: UI Bug when falling back to Full Backup

      @olivierlambert that is a discrepancy between what was planned ( a vm delta backup) and what we can do with the data available ( a full ) . In this case, it's only one disk that fell back to full

      We have to improve how to show the information with mixed state

    • RE: Backup to SMB remote still running

      @yaroz it loosk like there is an issue with some error not stopping the job as expected, I am currently working on this

      In the meantime , you can restart XO , it will forcefully close all running jobs

    • RE: Mirror Incremental or Mirror Full backup Tags???

      @olivierlambert because of time constraints and some decision to take on which tag do we use if the VM had changed. We pushed back these deceision until mirror were more widely used .

      ( easiest way would be to use always the last tags. )

      To be fair, If possible I would prefer to wait for XO6 , the backup form in XO5, is quite complex to modify

    • RE: Backup and Backup copy with XO Proxies. Bug or by design ?

      @Pilow what would need to change a lot of things. We are starting a project to rewrite the ACL, and I think it's a better way to handle it. But it will take time before releasing it.

      @farokh the job name is in the snapshot name. Are theses snapshot of the same job ?
      Did you enable rolling snapshot on the backup job ?
