##### SUMMARY

Hello. I use CloudStack with XCP-NG and I am in search of the best backup solution.
All software, including Xen Orchestra, can restore a backup as new VM with a new disk UUID. After that I detach disk from original VM and attach the recovered disk. VM is working fine, but CloudStack cannot manage the disk due to the new disk UUID.
If I replace disk UUID in CloudStack databases, disk management will be performed normally
Example:
~~~
update volumes SET path="24c34f4d-35b3-400a-92e3-c27ba154aabf" where id=2283;
~~~
Maybe in new version of cloudstack you can add function of manually or automatically changing disk UUID from Cloudstack?
Or import VM from XCP-NG function.

Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the 15-comment thread and the proposed volume database update, then clarify whether the intended scope is manual UUID changes, automatic replacement handling, or XCP-NG VM import. Done should be defined as a supported workflow that lets CloudStack manage the recovered disk safely.
