Hi, note that the error message says "change UUID", this has nothing to with the UUID of the VM. The change UUID refers to the changed block tracking. This error will occur when the VM was completey recreated, eg. redeployed from a template or however. In that case an incremental backup will fail with that error. Not sure if the same can also happen after storage vmotion.
You already know the only current workaround: Run a new full level job. This will probably be fixed in a future version of Bareos. Regards, Stephan On 9/1/22 11:21, Simon Verbois wrote:
We started using Bareos with the community version, we use it with an internal vsphere on which are windows and Linux machines. Our backup cycle is as follows (in order to have some retention) Run=Level=Full 1st friday at 23:00 Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th friday at 23:00 Run = Level=Incremental monday-thursday at 23:00 However, we already had a problem a few months ago which reappeared recently, almost all backups fail, with the following error: 'Cannot compute changes for disk /vmfs/volumes/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/MyVmName/MyVmName.vmdk: Nonmatching change UUID.' However, the UUID has not changed, in fact, absolutely nothing changes in the configuration, whether on the VSphere or on Bareos. For information, if I restart a full backup, everything works correctly again, however, it is not practical because it happens randomly... Have you encountered this problem before? Should I apply a patch/update on the Bareos server? (if so, how to proceed?) Thank you for your answers, I am new to this technology..
