Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your comments.
It's a good point. Eliminating a copy operation would be good or bad
depending on your environment. For my setup, I have Data Domains on FC
storage and Export Domain on a NFS share. For a VM with large disks,
exporting directly from snapshot would effect the performance of VM because
export destination is on NFS and usually slower than FC. But if your data
and export is on NFS there will be no performance impact adversely it will
boost the backup process.
In any way, it is a nice to have this feature as an option in Bacchus and
it is in my plans.
I would appreciate if you test Bacchus and share your experiences with us.
All the best,
Niyazi
