Hmpf yes, same here ! I got bored waiting 5 minutes for every virtual machine to be backed up, so I just excluded them from the backup... I backup the VM's one, when the OS and all major applications, have been installed initially, but I don't backup after that. All documents that may need to be saved are shared on the host file system, so they do get backed up. I guess this problem is only a temporary one... now that SSD's, internalled stripped/RAIDed, manage 1 GByte/s, backing up VM's won't be a problem. Still, we will probably have to wait 3 years for these SSD's to become affordable/wide spread... -- Vince, having a hard time enduring his trouble some HDDs... _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
