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.


Yes, in VM Hardware config tab, edit vdisk and uncheck "Backup" in advanced.

Thanks a lot for the hint.  I should probably look more often into the advanced configuration settings :-)

Just as a final confirmation: Your suggestion worked like a charm. The backup time came down from >6 hours to 8 minutes :-).

Thanks again
Frank
