BlueByte Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I am wanting to quickly check my backups from the VM backup plugin. I have 2 VMs hosted on a unraid system that are backed up nightly to a NAS and then kicked off site and a USB HDD that is swapped out daily. The backups work well but testing the backups have been kind of tedious. I was playing with virtualbox running a unraid VM with nested VM turned on. I was thinking I could quickly dump the vm img file onto that VM boot it up and check that my backup is good. I was not expecting the same performance as my production environment, but it is incredibly slow. Before I abandon this test environment is there a nested VM setup that people have found to be more successful. My desktop that I am testing with is windows 11 with a 5900X currently with 32GB of ram. Currently have VirtualBox but I am not attached to it, just looking for quick and dirty test data and get out.
