You did create this thread, I think you would know what's the purpose of this discussion

Have you asked VEEAM for a solution, because it seems more VEEAM-related question after all I have no idea what it means regarding "replication is not possible for this Oracle point via VEEAM". Remember we aren't from VEEAM in here, so you should explain more precisely what do you expect from us to do despite it seems to be a VEEAM limitation?

The problem is not Veeam, but the inability to trigger a pre-free and post-thaw (Quiesce) on a VM before and after snapshot on XCP-NG.

Could this feature integrate XCP-ng?

We are looking for a new virtualization solution.
Oracle is a bottleneck for backups.

We tested the backup with the Veeam agent, which appears to be successful.
However, replication is not possible for this Oracle point via Veeam.

Using webhooks, if I understand correctly, requires installing a Node.js server. This server would then call the commands to put Oracle into backup mode.

This solution is cumbersome because it would require maintaining Node.js.

Is there no way to directly use Guest Tools to call a script before and after snapshot, like with VMware or QEMU? If not, is this planned?

I don't quite understand the use of webhooks.
Do you have a more specific example?

Veeam not use XOA for backup, use directly XCP-ng.

Hello,

I'm working on testing the XCP-NG solution (PoC).

Using the latest Veeam backup plugin, I want to run a script on the VM to freeze the Oracle database with ArchiveLog (BEGIN BACKUP and END BACKUP).
I can't find a way to run /usr/sbin/pre-freeze-script and /usr/sbin/post-thaw-script via Guest Tools.

Do you have a solution, or a feature that would allow me to run these two scripts?

Thanks.
