Warning: VxRail sftp backup not working after update to 8.0.361-29253789

Hi,

small warning to the community, we've updated multiple vxrail clusters to 8.0.361-29253789 and the backup claims success but there is no longer a VxRailArchive contained in it. We're using sftp as a target with encrypted backups.


It used to look like this:


./backup_vc_vxm_timestamp/VxRail/VxRailArchive_timestamp_29160391.tgz.enc
./backup_vc_vxm_timestamp/VxRail/recovery/recoveryBundle-8.0.331.zip
./backup_vc_vxm_timestamp/VxRail/recovery/recoveryBundle-8.0.330.zip

Now it looks like this:


./backup_vc_vxm_timestamp/VxRail/recoveryBundle-8.0.361.zip
./backup_vc_vxm_timestamp/VxRail/recoveryBundle-8.0.331.zip


There is no more VxRailAchive, only the firmware for the current and last versions that used to be in the recovery subdir.

Also the size has dramatically decreased:
14G     backup_vc_vxm_timestampbeforeupdate
7.1G    backup_vc_vxm_timestampafterupdate

So this seems like a problem in VxRail backup :)

This was finally fixed in 8.0.370-29422450 - seems like backups are running normal again. Also there is a new schedule-ability added via UI.

No Events found!
