Hello, Good Day,

Version:
proxmox-ve: 5.3-1 (running kernel: 4.15.18-10-pve)
pve-manager: 5.3-9 (running version: 5.3-9/ba817b29)

Backup Disk mounted with this options:
(Target is in the same Layer2 Network, 1Gbit/s)
192.168.178.10:/PVE-VZDUMP-BACKUP on /mnt/pve/ergnas01 type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=131072,wsizeetrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.178.22,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.178.10)

Server was rebooted on 11.2.2019.
Backup is running every Sunday Evening.

I have the Problem that the Backup is running much faster when the Server is freshly restarted.
On 18.2 (one week after reboot) the Backup took 9:07:03 for 1403Gb. Another Week later the Backup took 11:10:01 for 1404Gb.

As you can see i the attached monitorng Graphs, there is a huge usuage of the Swap Memory during the Backup. I dont understand so much of System Design und how Memory/RAM works excatly, so i dont know if this is the source of the Problem.
Cant be normal the there is 2-3 hours difference between the Backup!?

Did you have a Solution or Suggestios for me ?

Thanks, Best Regards from Bavaria
Markus

Hello,

Thanks for your Reply. But why is it swappig so much during Backup ?

If the Disk Writes are the problem, why is the first backup after reboot much faster ?
I am looking for this Problem since Months, but cant find any useful tipp or idea...

Hello, Good Morning.

The Backup with VZDump is running on the PVE Host.
What is the relationship inside the VM and the VZDump on the Host?

Best Regards
Markus
