What are the best practices for agent base Linux systems data backups of larger than 2TB volume without any failure? As well as backup of NFS volume?
Veeam Agent for Linux - Linux systems data backups of larger than 2TB volume
Best answer by chetantikandar
Hi,
Veeam agent for linux supports maximum size of 218TB, so you can proceed with taking backup of your >2TB linux machine.
Ensure that you have enabled CBT ( changed block tracking).
In backup job enable larger streams, higher parallelism. This may need you to check your proxy,VBR, repository specifications to be increased to accomodate more streams.
If the backup workload is high generally, it would make sense to identify a lean period and kick-off this machine backup.
If for some reasons the backup is taking too long, then you can break it down by taking specific mounts as volume backups spread across different backup jobs.
