If your target is a SR (and NOT a BR), then what you do is not called "Backup" in XO, but Replication (full or incremental).

Target -> Backup mode:

SR -> Replication (you can use it with retention to have a kind of backup too) BR (Backup Repository or "remote") -> Backup

Both can be full or incremental.

Note: you CAN'T and shouldn't use a host as a BR. A BR must be any NFS/SMB/S3 capable operating system, as long it's not XCP-ng.

No problem @mrchip 🙂 You are welcome. If you explain your issue with enough context, everyone is happy to help!

@darkbeldin Thanks it was his channel & what great info he provides! It was a 2018 "VM Backups, Disaster Recovery and Continuous Replication with Xen Orchestra Backup NG"

Thanks very much Darkbeldin
