Hi for some reason I have got an idea:
With Proxmox Backup Server working with PVE server I can restore VM as only blocks changed after last backup are transferred over lan.
But testing restore VM always copy all actual used blocks in vm disk![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
vm having 40GB disk (tested now with directory xfs/qcow2 and VLM thin. just LVM not tested yet).
There is about 15GB actual windows data.
1. firts backup: about 15GB data transferred a
2. second snapshot backup: few megabyte data transferred
3. restore this vm without removing original vm: 15GB data transferred
->not only few megabytes I hope
With small about datadisk this is not a problem but larges this may take a time.
The root reason asking this: Is Backup/Restore possible to use as missing snapshot feature with sentral SAN storage LVM disks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Looks Liverestore also restores the whole disk from backup.
