    blockdev-snapshot-sync to snapshot a raw file

    In production, snapshots are temporary files, therefor creating a qcow2 file for few hours and then merging it back to RAW file will not make much of performance issue, while it offer flexibility. for example I want to upgrade the database server version in that case I can create a snapshot, do...

    Why Qemu incremental backup is not supported by Proxmox

    It's not good, because it will compare the backup with live disk of server and make incremental backup, while the Qemu has dirty bitmap feature which will remove the compare part of incremental backup process, So with the patch you've mentioned an incremental backup will also take long time and...
