Hello,
I'm looking for some suggestions on the idea to put PBS as VM on my Homelab PVE (1 PVE node stand alone + 2nd PVE node with Zsync actived).

Some pros e cons ??

The idea to put PBS as VM comes due to keep PBS configured on QnapNas (NFS share) even if I move its VM from one PVE node to another PVE node (in a cluster or not).

To configure PBS with NF share I used this guide (in german but translated in english): NFS share on PBS
With this guide, Backups by PBS seems to work fine.

2 Questions/doubs:
1) understand what's happen if I use the same backups on that PBS VM to restore some other backuped guest VMs on a different PVE server/node
2) What about the effects to move PBS VM (configurated and hooked with the Qnap NAS NFS share) in other PVE nodes ??

Thanks and appreciate suggestions
