I have a VM running Windows Server 2003 and it's assigned 2 hard drives; one 64GB in size and the other 32GB in size. When i setup a backup for this VM, only the 64GB main drive image is backed up.

Question:
What do i need to do to make this work and/or is something wrong with the backup system in relation to multiple hard drives assigned to VM's?

Proxmox Version: 1.8

VM configuration file:
Code:
name: HPWebserver
ide2: local:iso/drivertest.iso,media=cdrom
vlan0: virtio=BE:73:4F:9C:21:91
bootdisk: virtio0
ostype: w2k3
memory: 1024
sockets: 1
onboot: 0
description: This is the campus public server for the website and webmail
cores: 4
boot: cd
freeze: 0
cpuunits: 1000
acpi: 1
kvm: 1
virtio0: raid0:vm-101-disk-1
virtio1: raid0:vm-101-disk-2

I have attempted to search the forums and i have been unable to find a problem close to this one, so i'm hoping someone here can help.

Thanks,

Leave it to a computer to make a liar out of me...
Deleted the original backup and recreated it again today and now it's picking up both drive images. Go figure. :rolleyes:

So i guess the question is, do i need to recreate the backup job when new hard drives are added to the image and is there a period i need to wait before creating that new job so said drive is picked up?

Thanks for your help in my duh moment dietmar.

no, that is not needed.
