Hi,
I have a question regarding virtual machines running on bhyve.
If using the GUI (11.0-U4) the only way to add disks to bhyve is zvol's.
Are there any ideas how to handle backups of those zvols?
I'm aware of a couple of different ways it could be done but I'm looking for more ideas.
I would like to address backups both from a spontaneous DR perspective as well as saving historical backups.
Currently I'm using hashbackup and b2 for backups.
For vmware (using zvol + iscsi) I'm mounting the iscsi datastore in a vm and backing up from there. I'm using weekly snapshots within vmware.
If possible I would like to avoid per-vm backups and instead focus on one centrally managed backup
Ideally all the snapshots + backups could be done in the same place for both vmware and bhyve vm's.
Cheers
