Hi Nada,

thanks, but this would exclude the complete VM from the backup (we have that for a few special VMs). However we wanted to exclude only one specific vdisk of a specific VM and not the VM itself.

I have implemented Eneko's suggestion (see the previous mail in this thread).

Cheers, Frank

Dear all,

we are doing daily backups of every VM in our PVE cluster to the
internal Ceph storage (snapshot mode, ZSTD compression).  However one
of the VMs takes six to seven hours for the backup, which is
unbearable and also interferes with other backup processes.  The delay
is probably due to a 50% filled 500G vdisk attached to the VM.  Is
there a way to exclude this specific vdisk from the PVE backup
schedule, while still retaining the rest of the VM in the backup?

We don't have PBS in place and will not have it in the near future for
different reasons. So PBS would not be an option for us.

Cheers, Frank
