Hi!

The Nas is connected by NFS on vSphere 5.5, then a VMDK has been created for the Backup (10tb volume, before, it was like 7.9TB)

The volume is almost empty now.

I have an external drive connected to my vmware server, shared to a VM, then transfering file onto the the VMDK.

No snapshot is enabled. Configured has flex-raid (using raid 5)

    Actually you do. Download the log zip from the admin web ui, it is one of the files inside the zip.
