Xen Orchestra 5.17
Here it comes! This release is officially the first milestone in our improved backup process. For a LOT of reasons.
Note: the new UI for backup-ng is still incomplete. But next patch release (and your feedback!) will improve this in the next weeks!
Backup-ng
Because we made a full rewrite of backup code, we decided to keep the "legacy" at the same place, and to add a brand new UI in parallel. This way, you can test the new backup features on new jobs, without fearing for your previous/existing schedules.
To test and use our new backup code, just go into the new Backup-ng menu!
The list of new possibilities is so long that we created a dedicated blog post. So if you want to discover all the new features, go read our previous blog post on all the new XenServer backup possibilities!
In short:
- multi-remote jobs
- multi-schedule jobs
- faster exports
- faster merge (works also for legacy backup code!)
- more resilient process
- better logs
- smart backup preview
New filters!
You can use the search field/filter with number comparison, eg to display only VMs with more than 2 snapshots:
snapshots:length:>2
Or maybe VMs with more 4 or more disks attached?
$VBDs:length:>=4
Same concept for the number of network interfaces:
VIFs:length:>=2
You can also filter on memory, but it's not optimal for now: eg
memory:dynamic:1:<1073741824will filter to all VMs with less than 1GiB or dynamic max memory!
Self-service share
You can now share an existing VM into a self-service: this will make this VM accessible from all member of the resource set.
Disconnect VDIs
You can now disconnect or "forget" VDIs to their VMs directly from the SR view:
