@florent any other ideas in order to resolve this?

@florent thanks for getting back to me! Unfortunately, I bring only bad news.

You can see the job still exists. I restarted xo-server after this point, and still see the job when I run

./db-cli.mjs ls job

@florent any update? This job is still appearing regularly, and I'd love to get it purged.

@florent I'm back from my vacation. Any update on this? Much appreciated.

@florent said in Ghost Backup job keeps failing:

/#/backup/886244d4-6ec3-4d76-90b1-aafb7ce2eaef/edit

I'm heading on vacation, so you can think on it for another week!

@olivierlambert @florent Whoops. Yes, ok. In the CLI for my docker container. It seems I didn't need to be in the xo-server folder, I needed to be in the dist subfolder. But here are my results

@florent I've pulled up the console for xcp-ng, but I can't figure out how to change paths. The cd and ls commands don't work at all, and I'm struggling to find this in the documentation.

@olivierlambert I am now on c2eb6, and not seeing any change. My container updated last night at 10PM, and a new failed ghost snapshot occurred at 5AM this morning.

Again, you can see in my screenshots above, the ID is 44d4, which is not an ID that I have available in my list of backup jobs.

@olivierlambert Oh. I have absolutely no idea how to reproduce this. It's happening automatically.

@olivierlambert I forgot I have XOA as well. I just booted that up, but backup jobs is completely blank.

@olivierlambert Ugh, well, I wish it were that easy. I run XOA in a docker container (ronivay/xen-orchestra), and it appears the maker of my docker container may be having issues, as the last 3 builds have failed. To be continued...

@olivierlambert From the sources. Commit 9da65.

At some point my old snapshot jobs stopped working. Really have no idea why. I rebuilt them and the new ones work. I now have a ghost backup job that regularly runs and fails. It's not really an issue, just annoying to see in my logs.

Here are all of my recent failed jobs:

these are all the jobs I have:

I really just want to get rid of the ghost job. Any ideas?

@olivierlambert Ok, so temporarily moving both VMs to the larger disk, and then recreating the 78GB storage (which is on the same physical disk that hosts XCP-ng) as thin is a viable solution to be able to start taking snapshots on this drive?

I suppose I wanted to be sure it was viable before I pulled the trigger on it. After doing this, I would be able to dedicate the larger drive to DR.

Bump. Really would appreciate help on this.

@danp Yep. Well aware. But let's both admit that snapshots are categorized by XCP-ng under "Backups". I want snapshots for rollback purposes before making serious changes to either server. OMV doesn't see many serious changes, so it's less critical. While I'm focused more on Snapshots at the moment (I have some serious changes I want to make to the Ubuntu server), as you can see, I also mentioned DR.

I've been using XCP-ng for around 1.5-2 years, and I still don't have any backup settings configured. I really need to get this figured out, and I just keep getting stuck every time.

I'll explain my (quite meager) setup first, before I explain what my hurdles are

• 2 x Local Storage (78GB and 300GB). Both are thick provisioned. (XCP-ng is installed on the 78GB disk)
• 6 x removable drives varying from 2TB up to 12TB, all passed through to OMV
• 2 x VMs: OpenMediaVault (OMV) and Ubuntu

I try to snapshot Ubuntu (on the 78GB drive). It's a 40GB disk. When I try to snap it, I get an "There is insufficient space" error. And yes, I've read the documentation and realize it's a limitation of thick provisioning. It's just barely bigger than 50% of the disk.

I try to snapshot OMV (on the 300GB drive). It's a 10GB disk, however since it has all the removable disks attached, I get "SR_OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED".

As far as backups go, I want to at least be able to take snapshots of these two disks (but if I can't snapshot OMV, I'll live). I realize if I moved the Ubuntu VM to the 300GB drive, I'd be able to snap it. I just want to know what's possible. Is it possible to move both VMs to the 300GB disk, and reprovision the 78GB drive as thin?

Essentially, the config I was hoping to achieve is:

• 78GB disk: 2 x VMs (both snapshot-able)
• 300GB disk: Disaster Recovery

Is this achievable?
