MDB for backup
-
Hi, in the NFS configuration i see:
Store backup as multiple data blocks instead of a whole VHD file. (creates 500-1000 files per backed up TB but allows faster merge)
but in the info popup i see:
Your remote must be able to handle parallel access (up to 16 write processes per backup) and the number of files (500 files per GB of backed up data)
It's a little different
in my test the real number is near the 500/gb, not 1000/tb.. is correct ? -
Indeed, the "data blocks" are splitting a VHD to many 2MiB files. If it's enabled, it means that for a 10GiB VHD on XCP-ng (in terms of used blocks), it will create 5120 files of 2MiB.
So yes, it's 500 per GiB, not per TiB. We'll fix the sentence. Pinging @florent

@robyt nice catch
We use compression when selecting block based backup (by default brotli), that brings a 20-50% storage reduction depending on the data
