Can kopia backup a server that is 99% full

hello there,

i was reading the docs for kopia and saw that it creates a snapshot of everything then encrypt and sends it to the storage server. If i see this right it means that it cannot backup any machine that has not at least more than the delta size as free space localy , and, for the first backup, at least 60% of free space ( to put the snapshot of 100% of the data as its the first one).

Am i right here ?

Nope. I do not think so:)

Kopia needs very little of free disk space to run. It is used only for cache, logs and some small tmp files. What has to be sent is only deduplicated, compressed and encrypted delta content. It is send in small chunks - few MB max.
