hello,
I am a Vmware ESXi hobbyist. I know a little.. but this one question keeps perplexing me..
if i have a ESXi 7 VM provisioned to 100gb, but the actual space it uses is only like 5gb.
( the VM required the disk to be 100gb.. or it wouldn't install.. but this is just for lab use..)
Is there an easy way to create a backup where the size is the actual amount of space used ( in this case 5gb.. ?)
I have tried to read about Veeam and while there is a ton of info out there. if i don't know what i am looking at , its all greek to me...
thank you so much
