With backup fleecing, such old data is cached in a fleecing image rather than sent directly to the backup target. This can help guest IO performance and even prevent hangs in certain scenarios, at the cost of requiring more storage space. + Use e.g. `vzdump 123 --fleecing enabled=1,storage=local-lvm` to enable backup -fleecing, with fleecing images created on the storage `local-lvm`. +fleecing, with fleecing images created on the storage `local-lvm`.
