I have a CentOS VM with a lots of inodes, and 500GB +/-, running under hyper-v . Which is best for backup them? What is the pros and cons?
Thanks for attention.

Not enough details. Are you backing up the VM from hyper-v?
Are you backing up the VM from within the VM?
Are you backing up the files on the VM or making an image/snapshot?
Does $storage-provider have a preferred protocol?
NFS typically can be expanded on the fly if the needs increase. iSCSI typically needs “work” like expanding the partition then expanding the filesystem when more space is needed.

No. Is only for the “home” files. I need to restore then quickly and individual.
No.
Can i create a nfs partition with lvm and in future extend the partition with another hd i.e?
Thanks for reply.

Yes, you can.
Use XFS on top of that as it has dynamic inode allocation and can be expanded live (but not shrinked).
