Packages of the KVM Plugin are available for supported platforms. Make a request from your Customer Portal to access the KVM Plugin. The KVM Plugin package needs to be installed onot the KVM host server (hypervisor host), on which Bacula File Daemon is already installed.

The KVM Plugin uses snapshots while backing up guest VMs. During a snapshot, blocks modified by the guest VM need to be copied in temporary space, the space required depends on the guest disk activity. By default the space is allocated under /var/tmp.
