Dustin, you're a gentleman and a scholar here. I appreciate the reply. The only reason I'm running the current incremental every hour is because we have some knuckleheads who create, modify and or delete files randomly it seems so the idea was to keep the most updated backups as possible. Here is an example of our latest incremental, as you can see it with our critical departmental share it only backed up 10.MB. Granted we have 15 employees out on a volunteer day today it's usually around 50MB.

Not to be dense here but just I'm following you in that if I set the Delta starting today at 1400hrs, and set the day to M, T, W, Th, F and the hour to every 2 hours (one doesn't seem to be an option) I should achieve the same results?

I think I'm confused on when the next full would run and how to schedule that into XO

@DustinB3403

I know I started this thread for some installation issues but if it's ok I'd like to tag on some backup questions?

I'd like to do Delta Backups of my fileserver. Currently I'm using ShadowProtect and running what they call a "mixed" backup. All that really means is I do a full backup late friday night and then M, T, W, Th, F I run incrementals during our office hours of 0800hrs - 1800hrs.

I'm having some trouble understanding how to replicate that backup into Xen Orchestra. I chose Delta Backup and have figured out the rest (I think) except the actual schedule portion. I'd like to replicate what I'm doing in Shadow Protect with new fulls on Friday after hours and then then incrementals during the normal business hours on weekdays. I don't know if I'm picking days for the full and hours for the incrementals. Maybe this Delta backup is a bit different than the backup I'm doing with Shadow Protect? I hope that all made sense, if not I can try to explain it differently

Thanks!

It worked!
I was even able to install guest-tools and I'm able to login to the web interface and connected to my single host.

Is there any output from a terminal I can provide other than "it worked"?

@DustinB3403

I've got some time today so I'd love to help out. I'll spin it up now and report back

@DustinB3403

This worked!

Now I guess I should jump to 16.10 or maybe even 17.04 to stay current?

Hello all!

I'm new to this forum and hope that it's appropriate to request help here. I'm not great with Linux so I might some things explained on a lower skilled user level.

I have a brand new Ubuntu 16.04 installed and updated. I've run the sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scottalanmiller/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh | bash command which ultimately results in a bunch of errors. I'm not sure how to post the text from the terminal window but I've attached a screenshot showing some of the errors.

I did google around a little and found a thread on this site with some information regarding replacing npm with yarn but I don't really understand that process or how to make those changes. If I can provide more information somehow just let me know what you need and I can try to get it.

Thank you!
