> Except for the large backup .qcow2 I have no further objections. I did some testing and found out that `qemu-img convert -O` used for stopped VM backups doesn't bloat the space. So for running VMs I added code in `nasbackup.sh` to use qemu-img convert -O on the backup file by creating a temp file and then replacing it with the backup file. There is no other way to avoid this with virsh backup-begin, so our best bet is to release the storage space after backup file is created. @rp- would you be able to verify the fix so that we can merge this in 4.22.1 before the freeze this Friday?
