RE: Why do I see this message?
I work with enterprise companies and they NEED those reminders to let them know they should be using the supported version. I don't really see them as annoying at all.

RE: Tips on installing XO
That is enough to get it working and fine for most homelab environments.

RE: Change default filter in VMs list from current "power_state:running"
It's a wonderful feature, you can have customized filters for VM, storage, Templates, and Pools. Combine that with using lots of tags and it makes larger deployments very manageable.

RE: Overprovisioning CPU + RAM?
@MichaelCropper
I recently did a video tutorial on how XCP-NG virtual machine dynamic memory management and over allocation works. -
RE: Delta backup questions
If the storage type you have the VM is thick provisioned it will take up more space. Use a thin provisioned storage for better storage efficiency
https://xcp-ng.org/docs/storage.html#storage-typesIf you choose 2 storage destinations it will copy to each of them at the same time.

RE: VM performance VMWare 8 vs XCP-NG 8.2.1
@nikade
Something to consider is that due to the way XCP-ng isolates for each disk for each VM for better security there can be some performance issues. But because it's per VM (unless your use case is to only running a single VM) this is less of an issues as most people run many VM's. -
RE: The reality of OSS maintainer fatigue
Very well said and an excellent read. Now I need to read https://un.curl.dev/

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 public alpha 🚀
This was a full backup not a delta so that makes sense. I think I need more of my lab servers to be on 8.3 so I can do some more testing. I did not find any issues and nothing broke using it so I need to try harder.

RE: XCP-ng 8.3 public alpha 🚀
I did some testing with the 8.3 and it all went smooth except for one thing. We did a backup of a VM on 8.3 and if we try and restore it to version 8.2 I get the error
"IMPORT_INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION"
which makes sense and it's just a lab system so nothing critical. Is there a way to bring it back to 8.2 or should I update the rest of my lab to 8.3?

RE: Settings -> Remote -> (NFS|SMB) on a Sinology NAS
I can confirm that a Synology works well as a backup "Remote" but as @olivierlambert said more details are needed to help.

RE: Delta backup questions
@Matteo
You can use a SAN shared storage that is thin provisioned such as NFS. -
RE: Delta backup questions
@DustinB said in Delta backup questions:
As a discrete backup that is saved to each location individually.
Yes, that is a more accurate statement.
Also, there is an option for doing Mirrored Backups:

RE: Incremental replication testing
The VM created for the health check is deleted after boot confirmation is achieved by seeing the Xen tools.

RE: Virtualized XCP-ng reboots when trying to install Debian from an ISO from the local ISO store
@abudef
I only did that in my video to make it easier to show how things work with XCP-ng hosts, I don't think the VM's would work inside the nested systems. -

RE: how to get syslog to remote to work?
@djingo
My syslog stopped working (I think after one o the updates) and this bug still exists. If you trying removing it form the Pool or individual hosts in the Pool via XO it will not let you have it as blank. If you ssh in and use xsconsole you can remove the syslog server and but it will not let you specify a port. But once it has been removed from xsconsole you can go back into XO and add in the syslogserver along with a non-default port such as192.168.2.7:1521
and it will work.
