<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Daniel,<br><br>Thank you for your comments.<br><br></div>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.<br><br></div><div>In any way, it is a nice to have this feature as an option in Bacchus and it is in my plans.<br><br><br></div><div>I would appreciate if you test Bacchus and share your experiences with us.<br><br></div><div>All the best,<br></div><div>Niyazi<br></div><div><br><br></div><div><br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 27 April 2017 at 23:42, Beckman, Daniel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Daniel.Beckman@ingramcontent.com" target="_blank">Daniel.Beckman@ingramcontent.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

of you. If you are interested you may check it out at this page <a href="https://github.com/openbacchus/bacchus" target="_blank">

env.) but needs some more improvement on error handling.<u></u><u></u></p>
