Problem
Backup of the Linux physical server has failed with the following error:
Backup of the "X" server has failed LVM snapshot allocation size was exceeded for one or more LVM volumes.
Background
NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to set a maximum LVM snapshot allocation size for a Linux physical server backup. By default, it is set to 1 GB but it can be increased to 1000 GB. The above error appears when you run a physical Linux server backup job and the LVM allocation snapshot size of the LVM volumes exceeds the set size limit.
Solution
To solve this problem, take the following steps:
- Make sure there is enough space in LVM Volume Group(s).
- Navigate to product system settings and increase an LVM snapshot allocation size value according to the space available in LVM Volume Group(s).
