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

Yes, that's also working. Great piece of software. Thanks for providing that for free to us interested home users. :):):):):)
