I know I can use
and I have
set in /etc/vzdump.conf, but I am not sure zstd takes bwlimit in consideration. the process executing the back shows
I need to lower the bandwidth bc it's straining the disk and applications are unable to perform well (CPU usage is over # of cores). I have been using zstd for almost 1 year and it has worked well (CPU usage stays reasonable) but since the last PVE update (which asked to implement a new template for vzdump.conf) something related to the backup changed. I can't say this is to blame for sure, so the question is how to limit bandwidth for vzbackups when using zstd?
Code:
zstd: N
Code:
BWLIMIT: 49152
Code:
... cstream -t 50331648 | zstd --rsyncable '--threads=2' ...
