Hi Folks, I am planning to virtualize the servers at my primary data center. They are all windows based systems, then I am thinking of setting up DR using another instance proxmox at my other data center. I am just wondering if complete DR can be built using Proxmox or do I need to go for...

So tom I know this is old thread but curious to know if any progress is made on the same topic and if we can install the machine using OVF templates?

Ok so I need to have VM machine on LVM partition and doesnt matter if Backup space can be anything. If and only if I have machine set up on LVM I'll be able to take a hot backup, is that correct?

So tell me one thing if backup can not directly be taken on LVM and Hot Backup can only be possible in LVM. How do I take backup on LVM volume as backup tab does not even detect LVM volume. So how can I take online backup then?

Hi Guys, I have a machine setup in Vmware ESxi 5 and I need to migrate that to Proxmox? is it possible? Could someone guide me the steps? Also what file format would you suggest on proxmox

I see, now the couple of other things I wanted to know I would be converting .raw to .vmdk just in case for backup purpose. Oh BTW on backup front, I also need to set up backup schedule for the same. Which backup method is more reliable and is that gonna be a Hot Backup or offline/Cold Backup in...
