Need for Compact with REFS and per-VM

Post by mkretzer »

Is compact with REFS and per-VM really useful? We did some tests and removed a disk from one of our VMs and with the next synthetic full the backup file was much smaller - even without running compact once.

So does compact really do anything in such a configuration?

Hello Markus,
hmm... "compact full" is not available in combination with synthetic or active fulls :-)

Best regards,

Hannes,

sorry - you are right. Never tried it, always thought we need it at some point. Thank you.

Markus
