Backup Directory / Datastore from PVE

[j.io]

Hi all,

I created a Directory that I use as a SMB share via a LXC container. Now I want to backup all the files in this Directory to PBS at a remote location.

Is that possible?

Or, with PBS, could I even backup an entire ZFS Dataset or zpool content? That would be awesome, something like „no matter what‘s on that zpool / ZFS Dataset, I‘ll just backup incrementally as long as there is enough space in the storage within the PBS“.

If it is files and the datasets are all mounted, have a look at the proxmox-backup-client and its usage: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html

Great. Don't forget to do a restore tests and make sure that all the data is there as expected
