    Doesn't sound right. Did you try opening the backup and looking inside?

    Yes. Its correct. Checked with disk verified. So its correct actually. Dont know how. But seems okay

  • How much space is actually used on this Linux server (df -h) ?

    Actually added 2 server. 2*40GB which is 10GB. But the datas on the servers are empty. Only a fresh linux system + cloudlinux. Nothing more for now. So maybe possible. We shall see what happen if i copy 10000k+ files within the two days :)

    We had a couple of issues in past with R1Soft, backups were not being completed successfully.
    Now considering & testing cPRemote, lets see how well it goes.

    Bet you could get higher compression with a proper compression algorithm (e.g. 7z, etc.). Depending on the data you will see great compression even using the basic huffman tree. :P

    On Windows git takes up some 300MB. These files can easily be compress down to 22MB.

    Exact. OP, try to compress a 10GB file full of 0's. You'll be much more surprised :)

    EDIT: Actually I just tested it:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=700MB.test  bs=1M  count=700

    Compressed with 7z. Result:

    701M 700MB.test 
    104K 700MB.test.7z
    
  • Has anyone able to use R1soft on VMWare to backup the vmdks? I have a few vmdk totally almost 1TB that is wasting my precious NAS space right now and I'd rather pay for some R1soft backup plans to move those ones over.
