Hi, I’m looking for an efficient way to backup a VM instance which is using zfs local storage, onto another server on the incus cluster.
When i try the incus copy command with --refresh, it gives me a copy already exists error. Should I be looking to copy just the volume?
I’m basically trying to emulate a version of proxmox storage replication, so instances can be highly avilable without shared storage, albeit there’s a data loss between the sync intervals.
When i try the incus copy command with --refresh, it gives me a copy already exists error.
Can you show the exact command you gave?
If you are copying between nodes in the same cluster, it’s all one namespace, so the destination instance must have a different name to the source instance.
incus copy foo foo1 --target node2 --refresh
If that’s not the problem, then you’ll need to give more info to reproduce: what version of incus and OS etc.
