Hello:
I have installed proxmox 2.2, and I am trying to setup backup to a local directory on a local mount /mnt/data
I have setup Storage as a directory.
I have setup the Backup to backup images and setup the schedule for the backup

I get the following alert:

can't use storage for backups - wrong content type

Can you please explain the alert, and/or direct me to the steps to setup a local directory backup.
 
post your /etc/pve/storage.cfg
 
dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content images,iso,vztmpl,rootdir
maxfiles 0

dir: localmnt
path /mnt/data/backup/vm
shared
content images
maxfiles 1
nodes mynode
 
Each storage has a 'content' capability. Please add 'Backups' to your storage (on the GUI).
