repost: Backup to cold spare
-
I have nightly backups to a qnap nfs share.
I am building a new XCP as a cold spare, where I will mirror the VMs nightly (and leave in a shutdown state).
Should I create a new backup job or make it part of the existing backup job (the existing job is a delta backup and each individual backup finishes in one hour) at roughly 11pm at the latest?
Both servers are on the same switch.

You can have a "composite" job where backup could do delta AND continuous replication at the same time.

Our existing backup (to the QNAP NAS) is a delta backup. I am guessing the backup to the cold spare should be a nightly CR? Or a delta? It will be a nightly backup. But if it's low enough on resources, the backup could be hourly.
