Open matveevandrey opened 5 years ago
Hi, good idea. I think about how to implement it.
Best regards
Any chance to get this implemented?
Hi, We are writing the new tool. It will take some time but we are well on our way.
Best regards
Any news?

I don't believe this is what @matveevandrey required.
Instead, I believe they were asking for the oldest dif to be merged into the initial base image, thus the base image is continually updated. This would prevent having to make a regular full base image backups, which on many production systems (multiple TBs) can take a very long time.
I'm not sure whether this is technically possible (i.e. to merge a dif into the base image).

Correct. On my production system full backup takes a while(
If I understand soft logic correctly the base image is never updated and all the diffs are merged to the first (oldest) snap: current_image = base_image + oldest_diff + newest_diff
Theoretically oldest_diff could become large than base_image and restore could take for a while.
It would be nice to have an ability to update base image every time the oldest snapshot expired/deleted
Thanks
