My setup is now as following:
Vimalin backups the VMs to the 10 TB "normal" disk.
E.g. the backup to the harddisk takes 120 minutes.
If I add another 4TB SSD (2,5") to my setup, the Vimalin backup might take +/- 30 minutes.
This will have less impact on my system and restoring a backup will also be about 90 minutes faster.
However maximum SSD sizes right now is 8TB (and € 1000) or anout € 300 for a 4 TB SSD.
So instead of replacing my 10 TB harddisk, I rather have the backup done to the fast SSD and later on replicated to the harddisk.
Now if I need the restore of a recent backup (e.g. the last 4 backups), I could just restore from the SSD.
If I need an older backup, I have to restore it from the slower harddisk.
Does the above make more sense ?
If not, I could just call you to explain
- bootdisk Windows Pro 10/11
- 2x Nvme in RAID 1/Mirror.
- 10 TB harddisk SATA III 7200rpm
