Besides, live backup uses the same IO thread as KVM, so it looks like using one thread (with aio) perform less than using 2 thread. But this can also be an advantage if you run more than one VM. Or you can backup multiple VM at same time. _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
