So after following this guide on how to get my 2TB to be a secondary drive: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#LVM_Groups_with_Local_Backing

I now come and face that it isnt allowing me to let it become a backup drive, it does however allow containers and vms (only in raw image however not sure if thats good or bad). How would i go about making this a secondary that can be used for backups and vm hosting? Also just as a wonder, if i took out this drive would i be able to see the images and copy them somewhere without a problem in case of a failure?
