And that is only the Snapshot portion, migrating it off host obviously takes a bit of time.

Sure, but other than using some resources shouldn't really be noticed by the VMs themselves.

@DustinB3403 After the snapshots are complete, the VMs should go back to running.

@dafyre Correct they do.

Immediately after those first few seconds. The data transfer off host takes the longest amount of time to complete.

I have 4 VM's that we backup (care about) that use 696GB of data, so the transfer time takes a bit.

@DustinB3403 How much does that affect the performance of the VMs that are running while your backups are being copied off?

DustinB3403

I've never monitored them.

The work is being done by Dom0, not the VM.

And with the resources being statically assigned I can't imagine that there is much of a hit to the performance of the VM's them self.
