Error to restore VM backed up in suspended state

[savage1279]

If I try to restore a VM backed up in suspended state I get an error: "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'other_config')"

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Suspend a VM
2. Back up the VM
3. Try to restore
4. Get an error

• XO from sources [5.68]
• hypervisor: [XCP-ng 8.2.1]

Additional context This happens because the backup json file contains a reference to VDI, which in not exported to backup, and the VM is in suspended state

If I change the VM state to Running and remove VDI reference directly in JSON backup file, it starts restoring as it should

The problem is that suspended VDI not exported to VDI

The simple solution is to not try import suspended VDI if it doesn't exist

if vdi is not present (and it's really not present) it throws an exeption

Just add a condition:

if (typeof vdi != "undefined") { ... } after line 197 to avoid an exception

Thanks for your report! @marcungeschikts is it Kanban card 616 internally? If yes, we might just create a branch with that modification so @savage1279 can test it and see if the problem is solved :)

@savage1279Can you please send me (julien.fontanet@vates.fr) the full metadata (JSON file) of your problematic backup?

I need to understand how to replicate the issue.

@savage1279 Can you please test the branch fix-import-suspendVm-without-suspendVdi? It should fix your problem.
