Lost backup chunk

Hi at all,

I have lost a backup-chunk with a out of storage on a backup pool; the chunk was sent no more after growing pool and the backup verify was failed. I have moved the {pool-dir}/vm/{vmid} in {pool-dir}/vm-old/{vmid} to force a new fresh backup with the chunk lost. This workaround would be right? If the garbage collector not view chunks definition in img.fidx it could be conflict with backup. Can I return back with {pool-dir}/vm-old/{vmid}/* at the backup end?

Thanks in advance...
 
how did you lose a chunk? that shouldn't happen really.

what do you mean by this?

AFAIU, you want to move the index backup to the old location after making an additional backup. yes that should be fine, i'd let a verify run after that to see if it really fixed the missing chunk

I don't really know: We have had a out of storage during a backup I think it was that .

I have thought that moving indexes of vm for the garbage collection the chunks was free during new backup.

I think it also. The backup hase finished now and the chunk has returned back :-) . The old backup was failing because it refered the previous index.

I wold thank CD Bergamo for the support.
