RE: Best way to determine whether files in the backups are still relevant
@florent you guys are absolute geniuses, there isn't a company in the world that matches your quality support.
I have a question though, say I have my backup set with 2 retentions on delta, and we do a full backup say each 20 backups. Am I right to assume that when the full backup occurs (so after 20 backups), in theory, there will be 2 full sets on the backup storage?
Example
Day 19: Full.vhd delta.vhd On day 20: oldfull.vhd (which is a merge of the day 19 full + delta) newfull.vhd (which is the new VM) Day 21: full.vhd (which is now the old newfull.vhd) delta.vhd (delta for day 21)
If so, that means that if we have large VM's (some are 2.5TB in size), there will come a time that that VM will use up double it's size on the backup storage.
Lastly, as we will be moving to XCP Pro + support in January, we want to move our backups from the now historical / community edition to the new one. I know at some point I saw you had moved to NBD backups and there is also an option to "test" the backups. Would this then make periodical full backups irrelevant as there would be no need to worry about backup corruption over time?

RE: Best way to determine whether files in the backups are still relevant
@florent Good morning @florent
I once again have to thank you guys for your amazing support (even in a case like this). I have added the 2 remotes to our paid enterprise version (it's added verbatim as per our community version).
Other info:
- Backups are setup as incremental
- Backups run either daily or weekly (2 backup jobs) but both configured the same
- 1 concurrent backup
- 2 Backup retention
I will open a ticket now, thank you!

RE: Benchmarks between XCP & TrueNAS
@nikade we'll be doing it right away, and given that I now know that there is potential challenges I can address with performance I'd rather give it a go. Thank you all for your feedback so far, a huge relief!

RE: Shared Storage Redundancy Testing
We will test this today and let you know. Ultimately the use case here is to be able to make use of a failover NAS (which is replicated at NAS level) so that it's a simpler process to switch to a failover in the event of failure (else there is no practical point to replicate the VHD's between external storage servers if we cannot "switch" to another NAS.
I will let you know the outcome, but agree with @Forza that if this does work it would be a great addition to the GUI to allow for a "switch to failover" scenario

RE: Backups not starting after failed NFS mount
@olivierlambert you're a grandmaster, never even considered that
It seems to be stuck but likely firewall will have a look thank you

log4j vulnerability impact
Just checking if there is any impact in XCP-NG and / or XO that may be impacted by the log4j vulerability? Not sure if some of the API's uses java?

RE: LICENSE_RESTRICTION (PCI_device_for_auto_update)
@olivierlambert Perfect, setting the parameter on both the VM and the snapshot resolves the issue. I am able to continue backups
Thank you both for helping!
