smaller destination that VM

Post by poichr »

New to Veeam and 1rst post,

I am preparing to backup a Hyper-V VM but my local bucket is smaller than my VM size.
My VM size is 1.8 Tb but as 300 Gb of data with a 2–3 Gigs increase a month.

For now my destination Bucket is only 1 TB, any chance that it would work
does my VM size dictate minimum size for my destination or that data does?

With Veeam, only actual data matters. Plus it will be compressed, about 2x on average with the default compression level (which you can increase for more space savings).
