Hi,
I'm busy deploying a few containers to a Proxmox machine and I am busy configuring live backups, I've scoured the forums and everything is working so far but one thing I'm still unsure about it the amount of free space that is required on the volume group. Must the free space be equivalent to the size of the container being backed up or equivalent to the amount of memory the container has?
I currently have 4 volume groups, 1 which is the default and 3 others I created. The default install left 16GB in the pve VG so I did the same with mine. Here is the output of vgs:
And lvs:
Here is my vzdump.conf:
Is this configuration okay and will I be able to do live backups when the containers get larger? Currently the biggest one I have is only around 9GB, here is the output from that backup:
Also, is there any reason why the first backup was so slow? 5MB/sec for the first then 34MB/sec on the second. Both are just backing up to a local disk at this stage.
TIA
