@florent One last update. I reverted to Master branch (6699b) yesterday evening and the backup ran without issues overnight.

@florent Understood. Thanks.

@simonp Thanks for the extra information; very helpful. I will revert to master as I don't routinely enlarge disks.

Hi @simonp, thanks again. Great service!!

I have checked out your fix branch and re-run the backup. It succeeded as seen here:

@simonp Thanks! Will have a go as soon as I can.

@florent, yes, the VM has a single disk and I did enlarge it by a few GB in the last couple of weeks.

Context: Home Lab running XCP_NG since 2018. Current H/W is 2x MS-A2 not pooled together; local storage. Backup to local Synology NAS.
XO: Manually built from sources (no 3rd part script), current commit 561e2

Problem: One of 12 VMs in a nightly backup set is suddenly throwing this error (full log pasted at end):

"code": "ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE",
"The value of \"offset\" is out of range. It must be >= 0 and <= 106492. Received 106496",

This has happened the last three nights (so with commit 561e2 and with a commit from a few days ago).

The one different thing about this VM is that it also has 4 hourly rolling snapshots retaining 7 of them.

I'm not sure where to look to debug this. XO has been restarted. I haven't tried restarting the toolstack or host, or deleting all the snapshots, just in case the issue vanishes and I lose the opportunity to debug.

Another observation is that the email report says there is a failure, but actually claims that all phases of the backup succeeded.
