Hi to all.

Sorry for my english... again.

I have Proxmox 2,3, all Updates. One guest is Windwos 2008R2 with SQL-Server and NavisionDB.

The Backup is a "Stop-Job"
Code:
vzdump 950 --mailto muster@mydomain.de --maxfiles 5 --remove 1 --mode stop --size 4000 --compress lzo --storage BackupLocal --node proxmox
It works fine. But i have 2 questions.

1.) The Filesize don´t works! My archive is every time 40GB. I whant have 10x 4GB. Is this not possible? Or my mistake?

2.) I´m fearful because of the snapshot and the MS-SQL-Server & NavisionDB. Is there some kind of Problem? I think, if i stop the vm-guest so i have no problems with open databases?!?!

Can someone teach mem please. :eek:

THX
