Hi,
i am using Proxmox 2.3 with Ubuntu 10 LTS as guest.
I configured a backup-Job (snapshot LZO). I works fine, but i am wondering why the backup-file is so big.
Code:

[/TABLE]

If i check the guest-System i get following Disk-Usage:

Code:
# df / -H
Dateisystem             GröÃe   Benut  Verf Ben% Eingehängt auf
/dev/vda1              155G    17G   131G  12% /


# df -H

none                   2,1G   472k   2,1G   1% /var/run
none                   2,1G      0   2,1G   0% /var/lock
none                   2,1G      0   2,1G   0% /lib/init/rw
none                   155G    17G   131G  12% /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs

Does someone has an idea, what i have to do to get a smaler backup-File?

Thanks

Tobias
