Vm from backup

[TheKunalSen]

Hi
When i am taking a backup of any vm and then i am creating a new vm from that backup inside that same zone it is taking too much time like an instance of 1cpu x 1.50GHz with 1gb of ram and 12gb of root voulme is taking over 6 to 7 mins to restore and boot up
can i somehow minimize this time?

also one more thing

i have two zones a1 and a2
both the zones are having two different nfs or nas servers independently
if i am taking a backup in a1 and then restoring it, it works
but if i want to create a vm from the backup from a1 zone (basically for zoen to zone migration)
i have to sync the cloudstack-backup folder of both the zone's nfs server right after that it will work?

HI @TheKunalSen
which cloudstack version are you on?
Some improvements were done to reduce the create instance from backup time in 4.22. Where is the majority of time spent on? during backup or during vm start?

Yes, two nas servers have to be in sync and it will work.

heey @abh1sar
i am using cloudstack 4.22.1.1

and do i have to only sync the backup folder or the secondary folders too?

[abh1sar]

just the backup folders (they should retain the same paths)
