Hi bnerickson ,

The xcp-ng part to Exclude VDI from snapshot has been done on XAPI project and can be seen in github https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api/issues/4551 , but will be only embedded in xcp-ng 8.3 planned around 6 month (+/- 3).

For the XO part, [Backup] Use ignore_vdis param when snapshotting, I will see with the XO Team and Olivier to synchronize the delivery

jasonnix said in A question for the creators of XO:

I asked because languages like PHP and Ruby are very popular in the web and have many developers.

Javascript and node.js seem to be more popular than PHP and Ruby:

Done in XO Release 5.71 delivered in May, this year.

5.71Release Note

Internal Ref. only NOBAK support for all backup modes with snapshots

Indeed it is in our backlog : USB passthrough with snapshots
and we will need to groom it (study it) before starting development.
