Hi, yes, you are right. When using a public cloud storage service, always incremental is probably not suitable.
However, when running object storage on premises, for example a ceph cluster providing S3 compatible storage, it still may be suitable. Regards, Stephan On 4/1/23 16:53, Tang Steven wrote:
Hi, From my understanding, the consolidation job in an always incremental backup will need to copy all old data and write it into new (or already purged) consolidation volumes. This is great for file-volume based backups because copying volumes locally is cheap. However, for object storage backend, this "copy" means that the consolidation job will need to download old volumes first and re-upload new volumes to the object storage bucket. This will not only increase network transfers but also incurring data retrieval fees. Therefore, an always incremental backup job may not be suitable for object storage back-ends. Are my understandings correct! Best, Steven Tang -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
