BlueByte Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I have recently tested and played enough with the VM backup utility that I am happy with the scheduled backup we have every night. We are backing up 3 VMs. The file sizes of 2 of the VMs make perfect sense with the compression. The database VM is compressing quite large, almost the full allocated disk size. The database is ~100GB on a dedicated img file, no other programs/data are located on it. It is provisioned to be 250GB. Currently the nightly img compressed file is sitting at ~220GB. Are there any img utilities built into unraid, or things I can do within the VM OS to improve this(ie defrag)? We have multiple levels of backup happening outside of unraid, this is extra level of backup we can run at night that gives us some extra convenience if things go downhill. I know the VM backup utility is a beta software. Quote Link to comment
