Hi there, I am currently rethinking the setup of my backups for my home lab
(has a lot of VMs and a few physical machines). I want to have 2 backup tiers:
tier 1 on a virtual FS across several HDDs and tier 2 using vchanger on
external HDDs.
As I am mainly backing up VMs on 1 hypervisor and all goes to same same SD,
parallel jobs do not really boost the overall performance significantly.
For tier 1: does it make sense to have different volumes for full jobs and incr
jobs? Does it make sense to have these volumes in seperate pools, or full and
incr together in a pool? Would you recommend having different pools for
different groups of jobs?
For tier 2: here I wil use copy jobs. Since copy jobs really do not
differentiate full and incr backups, there will be full and incr copies
together in volumes. Would you recommend having different pools for different
groups of copy jobs?
Again, physically spreading workload is not really possible in my lab, so I
mainly use sequential jobs. My main concern is a good tradeoff of "order"
regarding which jobs are together in volumes and not wasting too much on space
overhead by using different pools for different jobs.
You input is appreciated.
JC
