PBS is filesystem agnostic, it simply uses any locally mounted filesystem. (Nearly, must be POSIX iirc.)I use ZFS - but I can't find any information about using it with PBS
zfs create -o compression=off mypool/mypbs
), let it mount automatically (default) and tell PBS to use "/mypool/mypbs" as the "Backing Path:". I'm making backup to ZFS - but it doesn't make snapshots and every backup takes very long.PBS is filesystem agnostic, it simply uses any locally mounted filesystem. (Nearly, must be POSIX iirc.)
So for ZFS: create a new dataset (via cli, for example:zfs create -o compression=off mypool/mypbs
), let it mount automatically (default) and tell PBS to use "/mypool/mypbs" as the "Backing Path:".
If present/not present leading "/" irritates you: please read some ZFS primer first.

Yes.For an LXC container mountpoint, you could uncheck "Backup" in the GUI and just rclone it
Please tell us when you find the required magic stick.That's why I'm asking for a method of conversion.
