NOTE |
[For Linux-based and Unix-based Veeam Agent computers] If the protected computer has LVM volume groups or BTRFS pools on top of physical partitions, during a full backup, Veeam Agent creates a separate disk in the backup file for each physical volume and each LVM volume group or BTRFS pool. As a result, the size of backed-up data (Data Size) may appear larger than the actual volume of the physical partitions. |
