E.g. This is the space used by one disk... It's using 500+ GB (it's a 300GB VM disk) -
RE: SR space occupied by backup snapshots
@olivierlambert Sorry but I don't understand this. Call me stupid....
In the first screenshot of the disks in the SR:
I have the disk + 2 snapshots of the same size as the disk. So I understand the space used is not 3x disk size? What is it then?I'm asking this all because after 2 running backups I'm running out of disk space.
These are the SR's:
If I need to reformat in ext4 we have to redo this.
Going forward we are migrating our 2 main big hosts from vmware and I need to understand this before as once formatted it is a PITA to reformat when there are vm's.Really appreciate your clarification on this as it is very different from esx.

RE: SR space occupied by backup snapshots

RE: SR space occupied by backup snapshots
@manilx P.S. Clicking on one disk of a VM to understand it I get:
The disk, 2 snapshots and a base copy?
What's the base copy?
In this case a 200GB disk is using 4x200GB? Can't be. Totally confused.
