Hello,
I've been using zsync to backup my VM's, it works great. However I'm running out of disk space on the receiving pool. I think it's because of my setup. Here's an overview
I'm creating 4 zsync tasks per VM.
# VM105 Sync
*/15 * * * * root pve-zsync sync --source 105 --dest bpool/vmback/15min --name 105-15min --maxsnap 97 --method local
15 23 * * * root pve-zsync sync --source 105 --dest bpool/vmback/daily --name 105-daily --maxsnap 8 --method local
15 23 * * 6 root pve-zsync sync --source 105 --dest bpool/vmback/weekly --name 105-weekly --maxsnap 5 --method local
15 23 1 * * root pve-zsync sync --source 105 --dest bpool/vmback/monthly --name 105-monthly --maxsnap 13 --method local
As you can see, I have each task going to a different directory. This is creating 4 base copies, one in each directory. That obviously is using a lot of disk space.
Can I put all of these tasks snapshots in one directory safely? And will that reduce the amount of disk space used? For example, would this setup work better?
# VM105 Sync

15 23 * * * root pve-zsync sync --source 105 --dest bpool/vmback --name 105-daily --maxsnap 8 --method local
15 23 * * 6 root pve-zsync sync --source 105 --dest bpool/vmback --name 105-weekly --maxsnap 5 --method local
15 23 1 * * root pve-zsync sync --source 105 --dest bpool/vmback --name 105-monthly --maxsnap 13 --method local
Thanks,
Daniel
