hello,

is it possible to backup only one disk for a vm ?
details :
i have a vm with 2 disks. one for the / mount point and an other one to store a huge quantity of data.
i don't need backup with proxmox for the second disk, i have a backuppc remote solution but i need a vzdump of the first disk in case of lvm failure.
how can i ask bacula to ignore the second disk ?

thanks for the help

just exclude the second disk from vzdump backup (see 'man qm')

edit the VMID.conf file:

Code:
nano /etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf

and add 'backup=no', here is an example:
Code:
virtio1: local:126/vm-126-disk-1.raw,backup=no

thanks a lot.
my VMID.conf is a little bit different : i will try this :

ide0: vmstock:vm-101-disk-1
ide1: vmstock:vm-101-disk-2,backup=no
