Where would he look to track down a backup failure?

The setup for XO is pretty straight forward. Install XO, attach an NFS share, create a backup job to target the NFS share.
What i did is install ubuntu 16 to the XenServer Local Storage a 1TB RAID, then in XO setup a "remote" of the NFS share on my WD4000 NAS. Did a test on a small VM (SnipeIT) and that went well. So created a new job and added all my VM's and they error'd the first didn't.
But also when i looked at the NAS folder there's nothing in there even if you go to XO restore it shows a restore point.
I'm off tomorrow so will play Wednesday and let you know what i find. Will do another new install with XO from sources.

But after that i thought i would try the XOA and that's where i got confused as i tried a Delta Backup and it said i needed paid version lol.
-
@hobbit666 Rather than creating the NFS share from within the VM, do so using the XO web console.

@hobbit666 Just register for the free trial.

One last problem can't seem to create backup jobs with Edge browser. Can't click the save button.
Works fine in Firefox and Chrome.
-
@hobbit666 We are cutting Edge (pun intended).
Official support is for Chrome and FF. We don't have resources to validate on all browser. But, if the issue is well identified we can fix it (like we fixed Safari issue recently). If you have info in your browser console about the issue, paste it here

Just checked and my first backups were all successful onto my NFS Share and I can see some folders there

Always nice when the magic happens.

OK so new problem this time getting xo-server-transport-email installed and working.
So I've cd to /opt/xo-server where it's installed and ran
root@xenorch:/opt/xo-server# npm install --global xo-server-auth-email
but get this error:-
Installed Backup-Reports fine.
-
@hobbit666 Did you use sudo?
-
It's
xo-server-transport-email(not auth). No need to install it globally. -

It's
xo-server-transport-email(not auth). No need to install it globally.Then you need to update the install line
https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-server-transport-email (shows auth
) -
Open an issue and ideally send a PR with the fix: that would be your first (easy) contribution to the project
