We always get the last backup index and only upload the chunks which changed. For running VMs dirty-bitmap is on to improve this (avoids reading of unchanged blocks) but it's only an optimization - the backup is incremental either way. > We can restore full block volume, but also selected files with mounting the > volume with nbd. There's a block driver for Proxmox Backup Server, so that should work just the same way. _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
