What kind of backup?

[gijsbert]

Suppose we have 10 VM's within the proxmox environment and each VM is a 80GB image. When using the backup-option within proxmox set on a daily basis, will it copy 800 GB each day to a backupserver (if data within a VM is modified) or will it use some kind of blocklevel backup?

vzdump is doing full backups, so I assume doing a daily full will not work here - I suggest you go for a better suited backup solution or use another schedule.

We try to detect sparse images any you can also use compression to reduce size.
