XO Delta Backup Failure
-
For anyone interested, XO had some issues performing a Delta Backup starting from this past Saturday.

It appears that something went sideways with the tool that is supposed to compress the old delta's.
Resolution: Purge your old backup's and run the delta backup, creating a new full backup.

Is this a one time thing that happened after an upgrade/update?

@Dashrender Well it failed several backup attempts as I was off.
Which is disconcerting to say the least. As for this being the first time I've seen it, yes.

Do you know what caused the initial failure? was it related to an update, or just randomly started?
Perhaps a network hiccup or backup destination error, etc...

From what @olivier said it appears to be an issue with the " error is returned by vhd-util which is responsible for merging the oldest delta in the full disk. So if you have more delta than the retention, it makes sense with the error you encountered."
Meaning it was something with the functionality to compress the old delta's. I'm not certain what caused it to error out in the first place at this time.
