Hi all, I'm looking for some guidance.
I have Proxmox 8.2.7 running with VMs and CTs.
This is a Lenovo P520 Xeon W-2255 + 190 gb RAM
On of the VMs is Truenas Scale, this is my main SMB storage with 2 pools.
Pool 1 = 4 x 1.92 SSD
Pool 2 = 4 x 960gb SSD
Consists of 6 cores 64gb RAM and HBA pass-through for 8 SSDs.
At the moment I don't have a proper backup in place, actually zero backup for Truenas pools.
I recently bought a Terramaster F4-424 NAS, and 2 10TB HDD possibly had another 2 10TB if needed.
To be honest way more than I need for a backup.
The plan was to use the NAS as Proxmox Backup Server, but because the Truenas VM has HBA pass-through, how does the pools get backed up?
If you are passing through disks in Proxmox you can include volume in backup job but not when you're passing through the HBA.
Is it better for the to install Truenas on the NAS instead of PBS?
Or can I still backup Truenas pools to PBS?
