just to #brag

Deploy of worker is okay (one big rocky linux with default settings 6vcpu, 6Gb RAM, 100Gb vdi)

first backup is fine, with decent speed ! (to a xcp hosted S3 minio)

will keep testing

Hey all,

We are proud of our new setup, full XCPng hosting solution we racked in a datacenter today.
This is the production node, tomorrow i'll post the replica node !

XCPng 8.3, HPE hardware obviously, and we are preparing full automation of clients by API (from switch vlans to firewall public IP, and automatic VM deployment).

This needs a sticker "Vates Inside" #vent

@sluflyer06 and I wish HPE would be added too

I did stick to version: 1 in my working configuration

Had to rename my "Ethernet 2" nic name to Ethernet2 without the space

You have to put the exact template nic name for this to work.

Hi,

Smart backups are wonderful to manage smart selection of VMs to be backuped.

When we browse the RESTORE section, would be cool to get the TAGs back visually, and possibility to filter them
I'd like to get "all VMs restorable with this particular TAG" type of filter, hope i'm clear.

Perhaps something to add to XO6 ?

Could we have a way to know wich backup is part of LTR ?
In veeam B&R, when doing LTR/GFS, there is a letter like W(weekly) M(monthly) Y(yearly)to signal the fact in the UI

That's pure cosmectics indeed, but practical.

@Forza I didn't try, as my default Graylog Input was UDP and worked with the hosts...

But guys, that was it. In TCP mode, it's working. Rapidly set up a TCP input, and voila.

is there anywhere where we can check the backlog / work in progress / to be done on XO6 ?

@MK.ultra don't think so

it's working without for me.

@tmk hi !
Many thanks, your modified python file did the trick, my static IP address is now working as intented.

I can confirm this is working on Windows 2025 Server as well.

@Bastien-Nollet where is this "offline backups" check option ?

I'm aware of snapshot mode/offline, but not offline backups ?

EDIT : my bad, I found it, it's only available for FULL BACKUPS, not DELTA BACKUPS

@Bastien-Nollet Hi, here is the feedback : having two sequences for two schedules keeps the chain continuity and is to be considered working as two enabled schedules on one backup job.

Todays backup was indeed a delta, and did the healthcheck as intended.

Question is answered !

@Bastien-Nollet ha yeah, sequences are a set of schedules... so I have to put the two schedules in two sequences.

my fear is that it is still not clear if the two separated sequences of schedules will behave as two schedules in one job. see what I mean ? (chain continuity of two schedules attached to one job)

I dont want to get a new full with the standalone sequence/schedule that is healthcheck configured.

i'll need to try and report back here.

and I noticed a "bug?" with mirror copy job ?

Even if I only manually select one VM out of the 7 that are on the remote, they are "checked" by the job, but excluded by the job filter

on the remote, all 7 VMs folders are created, but only the copied VM contains data

the copy is OK for the selected VM, but why check and create the other VMs/folders ?

Hi,

I'm trying to get together homogeneous backup copies for client VMs that have backup copy option on our side.

First of all, there is no LTR options possible in MIRROR COPY jobs. the only way to have more points in the backup copy is to get a longer retention in mirror copy job schedule than the source job schedule.
Could we get LTR options also in mirror copy job ?

Second point, mirror copy job is either all VMs from remote, or manually selected VMs, no possibility of "SMART" selection by tags.
I'd like to be able to TAG VMs with client_name/backupcopy_option to autoselect the concerned VMs

If you could get these demands in future dev, would be great

Thanks in advance.

@Bastien-Nollet @florent

@Bastien-Nollet said in Full backup - new long-retention options:

Yes, a backup is kept if it matches one of the retention criteria, either the schedule's retention or the LTR. (the backup is not duplicated, we just check for both criteria to know if we should keep the backup or not)

Could we have an option to choose wich LTR day from month to keep ?
and even for weekly, what weekday ?

finally understood the network problem...

If you have a match of MAC ADDRESS in netplan

Veeam restores the VM with a NEW MAC ADDRESS

so either you delete the match, or get the good mac on the VIF...

ok, installed pws 7

and it's working

@florent okaaaay, I was taking it the wrong way.

I managed to have one proxy to see two remotes as intended, thanks to your advice.
Need to do some routing (DC1 and DC2 are on two distant datacenters, separate subnets) to make each proxy see the good route to each distant remote.

Thank you !

@nikade to be noted, on XO6 this bug does not exist anymore !
