It depends on how slow is PBS, and which part (HDD, latency, bandwidth ?) is the bottleneck. Even on Ceph it might make sense to enable fleecing (I use it)
PBS backups use a copy-before-write method to ensure coherency at a point in time. If PBS is too slow (which can be because of slower drives, slow connection, or high latency), it can impact the workload (as the VM must wait for the data to be...
