Hello
I was wondering, if i create a PBS server that has a local folder, lets say /opt/somefolder, how do i backup that folder to tape?

Is still a local datastore needed and will that require double the available space (/opt/somefolder + /mnt/datastorage)?
And if so, how would /opt/somefolder files and folders be included in the backup?
Would i need to run proxmox-backup-client on inside the server itself to create the backup from /opt/somefolder to /mnt/datastorage?

I'm a bit confused.

Thank you very much
