Backup mirror B2 larger than onsite nfs synology.
-
Hi guys,
I got an XCP-ng Server that I I do backups for like 11 vm.
I use XO from source.
I’ve a Synology has a nfs remote.
And I’m using backblaze for my backup. Mirror.
On the nfs, I use multiple block feature.
On my s3 this features is not there so I don’t use it.
On my synolgoy, ive 2.5tb of data.
On my Backblaze, I’ve 11tb.
I don’t know why.
I saw that the structure of folders is:
Xo-vm-backup -> UUID-VM -> vdis -> UUID-BACKUPJOB -> UUID-disks -> data -> UUID-INCREMENTAL -> blocks (something like that I think)
I do see that I’ve a lot more folders on Backblaze in the data folders (the UUID-INCREMTAL folders I think.)
I’ve 169 in Backblaze for 1 vm and 45 on the synology.
I did some modifications on my jobs since that because it didn’t run has I wanted and removed some vm because of that because I didn’t want the to be backup on Backblaze.I just changed the option “Delete Before” on the mirror job.
Since my objective is to not over kill my remote data, its not that much of a deal to lose 1 or 2 increment if my backup doesn’t work once or twice.My questions are:
Will it delete those over incremental that’s not supposed to be there if I select the delete first?
Should I use the “Store backup as multiple data blocks instead of a whole VHD file. (creates 500-1000 files per backed up GB but allows faster merge)” if i use a mirror backup to backblaze (a s3 compatible storage)?Do people had issue where the backup mirror is far bigger than the source backup?
I see an older job in backblaze for 1 vm. In health check, its not there. Will it delete that one too?
