hi:
I backed up my KVM VMs using VZDUMP.
This was successful.
The VM disk size is 100GB . But the sparse size was just over 6 GBs.
The backup TAR file is also about 6GB in size.
But when I run the QMRestore command, the sparse image is expanded back to 100GB in size.
I do not want to expand out the sparse file. I would like the restore to retain the original sparse size of 6GB as was original prior to the restore.
I do not see any options for the QMRestore specifically for this.
Can you tell me what can be done to retain the original small sparse size?
Thanks
