[PVE-User] backup takes so long to finish

[Bart Lageweg | Bizway]

I/O in VM when you backup (SQL tasks etc) is slowing down backup.

Hum... At first moment, I thought I/O could being a trouble, since I was ran backup in USB devices.
But now, I ran backup task on SAS disk! So performance and I/O is not an issue here...
And, I can't shrink the file, because the entire disk is being used to all databases as I described before...

If somebody else has any other advice, I will appreciate...
Thank you

Hello
I have a VM with Windows 2012 running nicely in PVE 3.2.
This VM has a 300 GB disk size that was re-partition with 5 or 6 different parts, in order to allocate different databases...
The issue is that the backup task takes 6 hours to generate a lzo file with 13 GB size!
However, I have another VM, which is Windows 2008 with disk 120 GB size.
The backup makes 74 GB file of size, and takes approximately 30 minutes!!!
I can't see why the first task took so long time to finish!!!
Can anybody assist me??
Thanks

Gilberto Ferreira
