Hello all!
I have an easy question: where can I set the IO disk limit during the backup?
I tried to set on GUI: data store, options, bandwidth limit, but it seems not working.

My goal is reduce IO during the incremental backup task.
How can I do thet?

That limit is only applied for restore, not backup creation. There is currently no way to set a backup speed limit via the GUI, but you can do so on the CLI with the '--bwlimit' operator. Check 'man vzdump' for more.

There are plans to integrate a speed limit for clients server-side for PBS, but nothing concrete yet.
