Hey All,
I have a PVE installation that is making backups to the NFS storage over the network. Everything is working fine but when I want to limit the bandwidth used by the backup, the setting seems to be ignored. Here's my /etc/vzdump.conf:
The only setting I want to enforce is bwlimit. Yet, the backup is still eating up the whole available bandwidth.
I found some other threads about other backup settings being ignored and the proposed solution was to create a local backup first, then offload to a NFS share. This seems... odd. I mean, it's a lot of complication only to enforce a bandwidth limit. Any other ideas will be appreciated.
Best,
dw
