Expected:
Backup A (disabled) run first
Backup B (disabled) will run after Backup A
Backup C (disabled) will run after Backup B

Outcome:
All three backups ran in sequence as expected

Thank you Florent for the help here

@lawrencesystems
Thank you for the reply!
I considered BHC in the past, wasn't sure to how big to make the SR for the restores

BTW Love your XCP YT content, helped me understand so many features and best practices

Hi there

As I understand it, Sequence backups still need the schedule of the existing backup jobs to run
I have 3 backup jobs, their schedules were different in that they start at different times
The first one in the chain started at midnight and its backup schedule was enabled
The other two jobs disabled their schedules

Expected (According to this thread)
Backup A (which is enabled) will run
Backup B (which is disabled) will run after Backup A
Backup C (which is disabled) will run after Backup B

Outcome:
Only Backup A worked as expected while Backup B & C never ran at all

Perhaps I misunderstood the thread. I kept the Sequence job as is but enabled the schedules for them all
I figured the time of the schedules should not matter, as long as they are enabled, they should run in sequence

Expected:
Backup A (enabled, midnight) run first
Backup B (enabled, midnight) will run after Backup A
Backup C (enabled, midnight) will run after Backup B

Outcome:
All three backup jobs started at the same, hypervisor nearly died, I restarted xen-server service. Whoops

My Goal:
These backup jobs should run in this order
Backup A - start at midnight
Backup B - start after Backup A finishes
Backup C - start after Backup B finishes

Any suggestions on how I can accomplish the above with Sequence backups? Thank you

@olivierlambert

The purpose of the exercise is to get the new host updated with identical packages/updates to match the pool master

Am I correct in saying that when "Install all patches" is selected on the new host, it will resolve the db_schema mismatch and still be able to successfully join the pool?

Unless the new host has more updates afterwards than the pool master and won't be able to join the pool?

I suppose this is just a general question regarding Backup Health Checks

The BHC enabled on a delta backup (rough process):
Delta/Full Backup > restore VM >check for guest tools > shutdown >delete the VM

The restored VM is deleted after each test or are all deleted after the entire delta backup completes?

@olivierlambert

Hahaha you got it! Thank you

Good day everyone

Hope y'all are well

A reseller of ours want to download their VM snapshot and they lack the necessary permissions

Currently their group and user are assigned to their VMs with the Operator role in ACL

I am aware I can pass along the download link to them from my side, they'd prefer to do it themselves as needed

Is there a way to create another user/group/role or edit existing ones with that permission

Thank you!

Hi there Gsrfan

Apologies for the delayed response, I had to shelf this passion project to focus on other work
So far managed to get the host, static IP, packages, users & their keys/password etc sorted with the init

I was working last on lvm partitions, to grow them and that ended up a bit of a mess

I might return to this at a later stage but I found your help and advice invaluable to getting the config to where it is now

Thank you so much

@rajudm
Hi there

We just need some more info from your side
What error did you get?
Which distro are you using to deploy the VMs?

@gsrfan01
Good day Gsrfan

I have managed to get the network going using your example network init, thank you it helped a bunch!

So far I can't access the test VM, the default ubuntu user and my custom user don't accept the credentials.
I have seen online it's possible to define the ssh keys in the init, is it a simple enough alternative to Github?

Thank you
