      @JaredBusch You've never had a large download become corrupted?

      Are you seriously comparing a download over the Internet to local LAN file copying? WTF?

        Assuming that there is nothing corrupted in the backup he's made. Or that nothing gets corrupted while he tries to restore it.

        I wanted to highlight this point separately. You are using the wrong Hypervisor if you even have to think about this. Data does not just randomly corrupt when being accessed. If you regularly have this kind of experience, then you have been doing all kinds of shit wrong. Likely using cheap consumer hardware.

        yeah I was kinda thinking along the same lines. Though - corruption does happen, so having it on the table isn't a bad thing.

        Of course, anything can happen. That is the reason for the 3-2-1 mentality of backups. But you also have to address the likelihood of the scenario in question happening.

          No you're assuming that is what I'm comparing.

          This is a large file to download and then upload, regardless of the LAN.

          There could be any number of issues that occur, and the only way to ensure he has a good backup (the one he's created) is to upload it back into XenServer and see if it boots.

          If it doesn't then there is an issue. Period.

          But it has to be tested.

            Sadly, the problem with that is that I have no place to upload it to. all of my machines around here have 500 GB drives. I guess I'll have to get another 1 TB+ drive so I can do this.

                        Yeah, Best Buy, but f***[moderated] that is what Amazon Prime is for. Not dealing with leaving the office.

                                        When I am in Texas we use Fry's instead of BB, so I get disconnected. When I am in NY, then it is BB.

                                          I have a BB 5 miles away, and a Micro Center 75. You probably don't have to guess which one I go to.

                                            Import/Export speed is a nightmare

                                            Disabling compression is a good first step to avoid GZIP in XenServer (which is known to be slow).

                                            is there a way to disable compression on the VM export option? I see that checkbox for backups, but the export button just starts a download process with no options.
