Hello,
Im testing the backup software at the moment in our network. The Server ist installed on the Windows VM. Backuptarget is a storage in the local network. Backups running fine. My question: It is possible to set the target directly to the storage? If the backup is starting, the traffic goes through the Windows WM and then to the storage, so 50% speed.

So you mean the data flows from a client to the VM which then also needs to store it on a network storage (so again, via the network). If that is not what you meant, let me know.
But if it is, i dont see how that can be fixed unless you create a dedicated, separate network connection between urbackupsrv and the storage. Typically that would be local storage, btrfs works best (imho). I wonder why you run the server on a windows based vm. Maybe you can run the server directly on the machine where the storage is? It runs natively on both windows and linux, no real need to use a VM, right? Even if you still need it to be a vm, that can be done (libvirt has virtiofs, which has great performance), not sure what hypervisor you want or need, but im sure there is a way to “map” physical storage on the host to a folder in the virtual machine.
And even if all that is not possible, consider the fact that future incremental backups will only transfer the changed data, which might be ok for you?
Yeah. That is how you described. I will check, if i can run Server directly on Synology or Qnap Storage or maybe i create a backup hard drive on the VM. Thx for help
