It doesn't matter what the real disk is. already set SSD on all VMs moving a 6GB file from a partition to another (all JFS) inside the same guest VM i get >100MegaBytes/sec (also 120MB/sec) so it's not a disk datarate issue >>> thanks >> >> i've tried an old eCS2.2b guest on VMware hypervisor ESX 6.5 > running on >> the same hardware >> >> i get about 20MegaBytes/sec ftp datarates... >> same eCS 2.2b on vbox i get 4,5MegaBytes/sec ftp datarates... >> >> (not talking that with Vbox i can't autostart VMs at boot) > > There is a way, but I don't remember how. I am sure it is in the docs > somewhere. there is a way under linux as host i'm running WS2019 with i'm much more comfortable anyway i've found a way to start the 2 VMs at Win logon which is sufficient for me at the moment there is also a software that runs VMs as services but it cost 49$ https://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/Install.html i've already bought the software that do live bkups... anyway i will mind if buy it there is also this software: https://github.com/onlyfang/VBoxVmService that's free, but it has issues (it don't work at all, sigh) >> if i find a free sw for live bkups of VMs under ESX >> i will go with ESX has hypervisor >> >> massimo > >>From the little that I know about ESX, it does not virtualize a > machine.

If it works, use it. i still have to find how to schedule bkups how to add notifications i've found "GhettoVCB"* that's free runs under ESX free hypervisor and do live bkups (i mean bkups without turning off the VMs) but i still have to find a way to schedule it e.g. one time per night... and it uses NFS as protocol that i don't like so much anyway i also have a Qnap nap that use NFS so i could use it as storage for bkups... * https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 > I still think you have a bad setup in VBox, but I don't have the time > to try to figure it out. the CPU is a xeon 8cores but clocked at 2Ghz, i guess that Vbox is very "clock/frequency" oriented, the much higher is the clock, the faster are performances this is my tought at the moment as far from my tests, MS free Hyper-V is way the faster hypervisor around but unfortunately eCS/AOS don't run under it :( this one does everything, live bkups, live replica and comes with a number of interesting features > there was a post, some time ago, in this mail > list, about how to make a modern VBox setup for OS/2 (probably > eCS at the time) i'm subscribed since 3th jan 2020 :( massimo
