Hi,
what do you mean? XenServer is taking care of the metadata backup if you
enabled it. As far as I know XenServer will update the metadata.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards,
Swen

Ok guys... we're about to finish the migration of primary storage... but I've a
question.
Since we've moved all the Instance's volume (ROOT and DATA) through ACS (4.5),
should we consider anything about VMs metadata?
We're running XS 6.2 SP1.
Moving the volume will move also metadata?
Regards.
