FREQ: Lower CPU usage when compacting local full backup file

Post by humannate »

Anytime a Veeam Agent job is compacting a full backup file workstations slow to a crawl when the file is local. Applications can barely be opened to switched to. A throttle for system usage when compacting local full backup files is really needed!

Hi Nate,

Thank you for your request. Have you considered switching to Synthetic Full backups instead?
If your backups target a backup server with Fast Clone–supported repositories, Synthetic Full backups will be fast and won’t require additional storage.
This would eliminate the need to run Compact.

Best,
Fabian
