backup abd restore using vzdump on a remote FTP server

[kumarullal]

Hi,
vzdump works great for me.
I have mounted windows 2003 server shared folder using fstab (smb share).
However, I want to be able to backup on any remote FTP server (Cloud Storage). That way I have a copy available in case of a disaster.
What should be my entry in fstab for this.
Assuming
ftp server = 22.22.22.22
username = test
password = pass
folder to share = backup

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use curlftpfs

mount ftp
curlftpfs ftp://user:passwd@server/ folder/

umount ftp
fusermount -u folder/

is curlftpfs (I think it can be used if FUSE is installed) installed on proxmox by default ?
When I run curlftpfs or usermount from the command line, it gives me " command not found" error.

I's not default installed.

I have installed and it's OK

for me curlftpfs is not working for large files, because it writes everything in the memory and after a while it is swapping everything.

maybe you could provide a ftp server option in the proxmox backup appliance for those that cannot use SAN storage or have to pay extra money to plug those things in.
