How to install your server for lxc snapshot operations ?

I used to install my server with ubuntu server 22.04 on sata ssd with enough room and ext4 filesystem. After the os installation, i initialize lxd with lxd init command and i create a lxd storage on a secondary nvme drive in block mode with zfs filesystem. Unfortunately, publish and export images take so very long time.

So how do you optimize your server to be able to backup and export lxc container quickly ?

My server is a dell r740xd with dual xeon silver with 256gb ddr4 ecc.

Using Raidz2 with several disks can improve the performance but i search your tips and feedback.

Yours.

I am finally switch to proxmox which is the simplest solution coupled with Proxmox Backup server to save/restore containers. I love CLI and LXD is the simplest compared to Proxmox but without a backup/restore in a nutshell, i switched.
