		<description>Hi Andy,
Backup was completed successfully. But when I am trying to import I getting error&gt;

Error: This file couldn&#039;t be imported.

Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks,
Indresh</description>

		<description>I&#039;m having issue importing VMs created by this script - the error message I am getting is:
msg: INTERNAL_ERROR: [ Stream_vdi.Invalid_checksum(&quot;Block Ref:956/00021836 checksum failed: original = edb8da5342bea8e87b3d5c4aa1ccf6dd1fe42a22; recomputed = 1528d7e52102dc20302514c09be21f28c4593dc5&quot;) ]

Any ideas how to &quot;ignore&quot; it or why this happens?</description>

		<description>Hi !
Our environment is using the following systems.
-LVM by iSCSI (Storage :HP LefthandP4300).
-Xen Server 5.5.0 Update 2.

We have executed the following shell a few times.
-vm_backup.sh

Then We checked the usage of storage and vm_backup.log.
So, the usage of storage was full, and we checked the error message(insufficient space) on vm_backup.log.  
But, we could not delete VDI and checked the following error.
-Error: The VDI is not available
I’d like to reduce the usage of storage.
If you know, please tell me how to delete command or deal with it.</description>

		<description>Hi Andy,
Just a suggestion;
Having a lot of space on local disk, I use your script to make a daily local backup, and local+remote backup once a week. However, I wanted each server to backup it&#039;s own vms.
I added to vm_backup.lib the method &quot;local&quot;, to backup all vms hosted on the current server, instead of all pool&#039;s vms :

in vm_backup.sh :

        &quot;local&quot;)
                if [ $vm_log_enabled ]; then
                        log_message &quot;Backup All local VMs&quot;
                fi
                set_all_local_vms
                ;;


in vm_backup.lib :

function get_all_local_vms
{
        if [ $vm_log_enabled ]; then
                log_message &quot;Get all local VMs&quot;
        fi

        xenhostname=`hostname`
        xenhost=`xe host-list hostname=$xenhostname`
        xenuuid=`echo &quot;$xenhost&quot; &#124; grep ^uuid &#124; awk &#039;{print $NF}&#039;`

        echo=`xe vm-list is-control-domain=false resident-on=$xenuuid 2&gt;&gt;$log_path`

        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                return 1
        fi

        echo &quot;$echo&quot; &#124; grep &quot;uuid&quot; &#124; awk &#039;{print $NF}&#039;
        return 0
}

function set_all_local_vms
{
        if [ $vm_log_enabled ]; then
                log_message &quot;Set all VMs&quot;
        fi

        reset_backup_list

        all_vms=`get_all_local_vms`

        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                if [ $vm_log_enabled ]; then
                        log_message &quot;get_all_local_vms failed: $all_vms&quot;
                fi
                return 1
        fi

        for uuid in $all_vms; do
                add_to_backup_list $uuid
        done

        return 0
