Yes , We need to know the pros and cons for doing that, nowadays we are trying to make an script that makes a rsync of the disk and when you want to turn on the VM or container use querys like that:
For container:
pct create 889 /var/lib/vz/template/cache/debian-12-standard_12.2-1_amd64.tar.zst --hostname CT888 --cores 1 --memory 512 --rootfs local:889/vm-889-disk-0.raw --net0 name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,hwaddr=BC:24:11:62:71:43 --password="prova"
For VM:
qm create 888 --name Kerio-Connect-Rocky --memory 2048 --scsi0 /var/lib/vz/images/888/vm-888-disk-0.qcow2 --sockets 1 --cores 2 --cpu 'x86-64-v2-AES' --scsihw virtio-scsi-single --net0 virtio=22:7B:10:FA:A7:02,bridge=vmbr0 --ostype l26 --ide2 none,media=cdrom
If the ID doesn't exist , we can do it safety ? Could you advise us on things we might encounter?
