Hi,

There is different things one must consider during CR:

SR type: block based or file based? First one will be thick provisioned, so plan a lot of space (eg: local LVM, LVM over iSCSI etc.). Local ext/XFS, NFS or XOSAN aren't affected by this problem Snapshot left: to do a delta, we must have a way to compare to something. The snapshot which left on the SR is the one that will be used for the next backup. It will be compared to the current disk state and only the delta will be sent. So that's perfectly normal "Job canceled to protect the VDI chain": this is a protection to avoid doing another backup while the previous removed snapshot isn't coalesced. You have a link in the message, please refer to the documentation for details 🙂

@mts said in Continuous Replication -> Exchange Log:

If you use the native windows-backup or a third-party application it will delete the transaction-log after backup.
How can I achieve the same with xen-orchestra? I'm running low on disk-space right now...

I think that you confusing physical (layer) backup with logical backup. XOA can backup/replicate/snapshot phisical medium which is a hard disk presented to your VM. It has nothing to do with the data in the VM (logical layer).
